Hydro and geothermal aren't without environmental cost.
They don't destroy the whole world but can be fairly destructive locally.
If you're going to flood a valley, please make it for something actually worthwile.
- emteycz 6y agoNobody is building a dam because of Bitcoin. Bitcoin is what's done when there is egress electricity (which there always is, somewhere).
- TeMPOraL 6y agoYet. When people fab ASICs for crypto, it's only a step away from building a power plant.
- Swenrekcah 6y agoActually I'm fairly sure it has been done. I personally know of serious plans to do so.
