> more ideological than practical

how so?

the impact of increased energy consumption, from non-zero-emission sources, on global warming is a highly practical matter based on established science

AI is/will cause a significant increase in energy consumption (still largely powered by fossil fuels) at a time when it's well established that we're supposed to be reducing emissions (Paris Accord etc.)
