The bad news is that usage is more than outpacing increases in efficiency (Jervons Paradox in action!), and AI compute demand is rapidly rising with no end in sight. While we can try and avoid using agents for trivial things, behavior changes will only go so far.

The biggest lever we have is to decarbonize electricity – and push AI companies to invest more heavily in clean energy like solar+storage, advanced nuclear, enhanced geothermal, etc. Using energy isn't inherently bad, its all about the impacts of producing that energy.
