Fun fact, almost no TVs are made of glass anymore.....

We can see that you very carefully did your own “research” on this.*
“Most traditional LCDs utilize glass as a primary material for their panels.”
“Glass is the most common material used in TV screens”

This "Pledge For Good AI PR" feels very much like everything else to do with AI.

"Oh hey, Vibe Coding! Glad you could make it, come on in and meet the fellas. These two enthusiastic young bucks are Vibe Pledge and Vibe Announcement. The dude pawing at the greasy pile of money on the table is Vibe Capital. And the two guys over there who are looking a bit concerned are Vibe Construction and Vibe Infrastructure... but don't pay too much attention to them, they're always a bit of a bummer. We only invite them because Big Daddy Vibe Administration says we have to."

Well whoopee they're paying for actual power. So what happens to my water bill when they suck a city's worth for cooling, or my power (or heating) when they divert all the natural gas to power their own stuff. Or buy up all the turbines so my utilities have to pay higher prices to maintain equipment.... because they would NEVER pass that cost on the the customer.

But Trump got them to pinky promise not to pull from the current grid. Woo hoo.
