LLM are the future, but we must still learn to use it correctly. The energy problem depends mainly on 2 things, the use of fossil energy and the abuse of AI including it without need in everything, because the hype, as data logging tool for Big Brother or biased influencers.
You don’t need a 4x4 8 cylinder Pick-up to go 2km to the store to buy bread.
Well, if one user ask something to a LLM, there are certainly not much sources needed, but yhere are millons of users doing it to thousends of different LLM. That need a lot of server power. Anyway, it’s not the primary problem with renevable energy sources, the risks are others, biased information, deep fake, privacy, etc., with the misuse by corporations and political collectives.

LLM’s in particular don’t use that much energy. Image and video generation are the real concerns.
