I definitely think people should look to solar.

It may actually get me back into it if I could set up a solar option

energy in california is ridiculous when I missed with 2 S2's it was 800$ a month

The miner must reduce cost & cut waste to remain profitable.  However there are 29-40 companies responsible for the majority?  Probably closer to the lower number right?  None of these key actors are looking at alternative energy at this time.  Nor have any announced interest.  If I am wrong and miners relevant on a global scale, who are currently using electricity have openly spoken about a sincere transition - who?  That is not a "dig", me being a jerk.  This stuff is just fascinating to me even if just a hypothetical discussion.  Many people have brought this up, it has been discussed in detail in this forum.  But those using the majority of the compute power, which is estimated to be close to or more than all Google servers (IT IS HUGE), none are seriously thinking about making this change.


Though possibly this will be a competitive advantage for newer individuals to "get in"?
