Greta would be proud, but I’m not sure how the number of tokens relates to energy consumption.

Soon the AI companies will have different tiers of plan based on carbon output.

For $200 per month they’ll only use carbon-free power sources for your prompts. At $100 they’ll use nuclear, then $20 per month for coal, and then there will be a free tier where your prompts are powered by throwing baby seals into a furnace.

This may be pedantic, but I'm guessing baby seals are a renewable resource.
It would be on the same level as saying burning wood for power plants would be considered renewable. Is it "Green" now.. Two different things.
