You don't actually know that. You're assuming they don't. Beyond that, who cares? They are clearly integrating renewables and BTC mining is a blip on the world power grid, we waste power on loads of industries and applications far dumber.

they didn't mention it, and it's really hard to make work economically for 24/7, but sure, maybe they have a small battery and a small amount of wind for their otherwise energetically expensive operation. why be upset at high per capita energy usage? we are default screwed!

That was not a small residential wind turbine though. That sucker was at least 1MW

It's not free to build wind turbines. They are incentivized to strive for lower electricity prices and more efficiency. It takes time, I'm sure they would put up more turbines and have free power if they could afford it.

By who? We have the technology to go 100% renewable globally right now, BTC mining wouldn't matter at all. The energy players don't want that, it's not in their best interest, so here we are, still using lots of dirty power. BTC isn't the problem.

you're trying to justify waste with waste, but the situation on the climate is more critical than that, man.

BTC isn't a waste though, that's just your opinion
I'm saying there's plenty of ways to shed real waste and we have plenty of renewable /energy efficient alternatives but the people who can make those decisions don't seem to care or be in any rush.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
i’m not saying it’s pure waste! bitcoin is perhaps uniquely doomed to be spending way more energy in the future versus now. by the end of the decade, 20x? 200x?? if it scales as it had in the past years, yes! if it takes over as store of value, probably yes drop it by half? how
