Bad stuff is already happening. Take a look at all the extra turbines spinning up (illegally) for Musk's AI power station down in TN when there are already air quality issues. The ones that use the regular grid are forcing home owners rates to rise considerably.

The only company making loads of money off of this AI stuff is nVidia selling the hardware, though I see AMD is trying to get in on that.
