Hopefully the panic continues and we get a lot of extra electricity, ideally via nuclear, wind, solar - and then if AI is a flop at least we get big progress on global warming.

How does an urgent need for more energy use lead to overall cleaner energy? Won’t it also accelerate unclean energy use to saturation, even if additional clean sources are needed for capacity?
Notably this comes during a US administration with open, unironic hatred of all forms of clean energy for ideological reasons
I thought you will say a cheaper energy but global warming works too.

Also its called climate change now.
