Eh, I'm not so sure about the useful vs harmful tradeoff, but it's certainly not harming anything AFAICT. In fact, they'll be super motivated to get cheap, reliable electricity as it grows, so expect more investments like reopening 3-mile island, solar energy storage, etc. It could end up being a net win climate-wise (probably not), but in any case, it's not what's causing climate change.

If we want to address climate change, we need to address the 500lb gorillas in the room: transportation. Anything else, IMO, is a distraction.

Again, 5x the electricity of a single google search is nothing and it produces incredible results. Overall it is a tiny blip compared to anything else.
