Nothing stops the AI companies from using only energy from renewable sources, right?

Are those really going to be bigger for renewables than for nuclear power?

Probably in this administration at least tariffs will be more of an obstacle for renewables.

Sure anyone can come up with hypothetical threats. What’s your concrete evidence to suggest this will happen?

Nothing other than the fact that renewables won't be able to keep up if the AI demand keeps growing the way it has been

They just buy a contract from a power distribution company. They don't care where it comes from.
If you want the PD companies to have a different blend, then they need carrots and sticks.

Demand is too high, same goes for nuclear which takes too long to build.
