This is the latest in the line of excuses/distractions made up by the fossil fuel industry. This one seems particularly stupid to me. Once you have purchased your solar panels, I don't see how they offer any control to anyone other than yourself.

"Don't worry too much about planet-warming emissions, the US Energy Secretary has told the BBC, because within five years AI will have enabled the harnessing of nuclear fusion – the energy that powers the sun and stars."

That is straight up embarrassing.
