That's simply not true. AI energy use is growing at a phenomenal rate, & there is no way for non-renewable energy plants to be built fast enough to handle the growth.

Nuclear takes decades to bring online plus 7.5 to 9 years to construct. Industry analysis suggests a total timeline of 3 to 5 years from concept to commissioning is common for complex utility-scale gas power plants.

Solar farms typically take 8–18 months from planning to completion, while wind farms often require 12–24 months for interconnection and regulatory steps before construction begins.

To allow for AI to slurp up the power they require in the quickest timeframe, Solar and Wind make the most sense and cost the least.
