Looks like global energy consumption has risen by an order of magnitude from 1900 to 2000: https://www.encyclopedie-energie.org/en/world-energy-consump...

Unfortunately, electricity prices did not fall by the same factor, so I fear that training a frontier model will still cause a an unsustainable dent in my monthly budget.

Prices have dropped by a factor of around 6 in real terms since 1925 for US household electricity.
