That's simply not true. When supply outstrips demand it's generally going to waste anyway.
Doesn't California actually pay Arizona to offload their surplus energy?
- maxerickson 9y agoA few extra sunny days each year, due to lots of solar plants. Overall California imports more electricity than it generates in solar though: http://www.energy.ca.gov/almanac/electricity_data/total_system_power.html http://www.energy.ca.gov/almanac/electricity_data/total_syst... So the extra there is not really electricity you'd want to plan a crytocurrency operation around.
- zaarn 9y agoWhen supply outstrips demand in the power grid, the power is either sold elsewhere or you start shutting down plants. Otherwise you'd ruin a lot of machines depending on either 220V/110V or 50Hz being on the grid.
