You got a source on that? Cause that sounds fake
Here's one:
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1906.02243v1
Below is an article on crypto mining, not AI, but I'd wager a guess and say you certainly can draw parallels from it:

Also, whatever the source of green/renewable energy is, it takes a couple years to offset the manufacturing of said energy source:

So even if there's no direct source on that 10 year claim, it probably isn't too farfetched!
