Air conditioning keeps people from dying of heat stroke and AI lets people generate pictures of Garfield with big naturals holding an AR-15.
I think I will use my usual assessment criteria on this one. If the industry you are regulating lobbies are unhappy about your law project, you are probably doing something very right.

In the EU, total energy consumption peaked ~20 years ago and has steadily fallen since then.
In the US, total energy consumption plateaued ~20 years ago. Per-capita it has fallen.
In Japan total energy consumption peaked, you guessed it, ~20 years ago.
I assert that for India and China as their per-capita consumption reaches a level somewhere between that of the US and EU, total energy consumption will plateau. China is almost there; India has some time yet to go.
