I guess power demands will slowly grow. The same happened with compute in general. Compared to 1960, we have several orders of magnitude more compute but also several orders of magnitude more efficient compute. Data centers are currently about 0.4% of total energy use (electricity is about 20% of total energy use and of the electricity about 2% goes to data centers, so 20% * 2% = 0.4%).
