- viraptor 7y agoOk, I should be more clear. Until we have enough energy that we're all running on renewables and adding more bitcoin-related load uses up spare capacity rather than increase overall usage - it matters. I mean, unless it's a dedicated power generating station, you're still using renewable power which is not used by someone else and overall we're supplementing that with coal and others.
