I don’t think what he works on burns a bunch of energy for nothing though.

Let's hope he is not the guy that checks the tickets for a roller coaster. They just send people from A to A using an ineficient path that burns a bunch of energy.

Nobody is out there saying that we need to bring a bunch of nuclear plants online to power our rollercoasters though.

What about the Disney park in Florida? This source claims they use 1E9Kwh per year http://large.stanford.edu/courses/2019/ph241/howell2/

A random google search claims a nuclear power plant produces 1gw, that is 9E9Kwh, so enought topower 9 of them.

How many parks do they have? Can we include Disney+? Can we include other similar parks?

Some people think Disney is useful and pay for it. Some people think AI is useful and pay for it.

I hope he doesn't work at any tech company; I'm pretty sure you could say that about all of them. I also hope he doesn't have a car - that pointlessly burns energy when he could be taking public transit instead.
