this project still seems to burn alot of power that could be utilized for better uses
Envion is trying to find a solution for the potential energy crisis that could be a consequence of massive crypto mining. With prices of cryptos rising there will be more people wanting to get involved with mining and therefore mining could potentially sucker up the energy supply of the world. Envion wants to solve this before shit hits the fan, by using cheap, renewable energy. I would go as far as to say that Envion is a environment friendly, sustainable mining solution.
I really don't understand how it makes a difference whether crypto miners are using fossil fuels or renewable energy. Everyone is connected to the electrical grid and the energy supply adapts to the energy demand on that grid.
They mention taking overcapacity due to the fluctuating nature of renewable energy off the grid, but it's not fully explained why only Envion's GPU miners in a container can do that, while other GPU miners make the problem worse.
