ArticMine you entirely didn't address my point that if marginal cost of mining one CC token is $600 (yet the mining farms such a 21 Inc. project a $8 cost for themselves), then if suddenly millions are mining to pay some portion of their electric bill, then the market price of the CC token is going to fall down closer to the actual cost of production $8 because those are millions of sellers (if they don't sell, they don't lower then electric bill).
Mining equipment has a capital cost also. If they are unwilling to pay the capital cost for natural gas, why would they be willing to pay capital cost for mining equipment to lower then electric bill by less than switching to gas will.
Besides, once we turn mining into a race to consume the most electricity in the most ways possible, then it means we will drive the electricity costs of producing a transaction up to the value of a transaction, because block rewards decline to the miniscule tail reward (or 0 in Bitcoin's case), so the only revenue remaining are the transactions.
This is 21 Inc's strategic mistake also. I have a design that will render all of 21 Inc's plans uneconomic.
