right now there are people living in the pacific islands (japan/hawaii) where electric is upto $0.50/kwh
if that's the case have they ever heard of solar power? maybe they need to invest in some solar panels on their roof i am sure it will be very much worth it. they'll be saving a huge amount of money.
you live in hawaii and you have strong sunlight all day long and yet you don't even realize that it is the solution to your high power costs. strange.
solar is great for normal household power utility.. especially if you plan to live there for many years to ROI the solar investment.. after all a few led room lightbulbs, a tv and a fridge freezer only uses say 1kwh so dont need many panels for basic minimalist living(candlelit nights)
but a asic is over 3kwh so need 9x1kwh panels to be a 1asic hobby miner (average EFFICIENT sunlight is 8 hours meaning 3x power draw to take in enough to use on demand and store for use later of the other 16 hours without good efficient sunlight).. then you look at the limited roof and backyard space to fit them.. and then look at the cost of panels and installation and delivery to remove islands, and suddenly the math shows that you are not going to ROI that panel investment in 2 years at todays bitcoin prices either
researching and mathing things out is great.. try it
