Running an nvidia card at full load, would cost me ~100 euro of electricty each month (europe). Of course one wouldn't have usage caps.
Where the internet was a subscription 15 euro subscription to encyclopaedic knowledge, an genAI subscription is renting a researcher/programmer for 100 euro.

Given the massive difference in electricity price between different european countries, adding "Europe" doesn't bring much context.
Even with a country. Here in Norway we have multiple price zones, and at times there can be 100x difference between them, often 10x. All due to lack of transmission capacity between northern and southern zones.
These GPUs use about 400W at full tilt (200W each), for reference.
