Does it cover everyone on the planet using the same amount of electricity as a North American? 8 billion people now. And usage is increasing too, gotta power EVs and AI (but not limited to that).

im fine with dropping AI for more humans right now, but apparently that wont generate shareholder value.

First it doesn't matter because it's going to happen whether we want it to or not.

Second the whole point is that electricity use per capita is always increasing.

Nah, they won't. It goes bling-bling, has a couple of good use cases, but because it generates Market Hype, Companies will cram it into everything. And i hate it.
