Are you suggesting that all miners with renewable energy resources are located in the middle of a desert?
Even then, we could have used the equipment (solar panels, wind turbines, etc) for something else. Unless the world is running on 100% renewable energy it doesn't make sense to say that something that requires energy doesn't cost (the world) anything because it's running on renewables.
- doggosphere 6y agoHistorically energy production has always been near population centers, because transmitting is across large distances in infeasible. Mining and future energy production is not constrained by these needs. Miners can use satellite internet and be isolated in the Siberian tundra if they needed. What I'm saying is renewable energy is both cheap and becoming abundant. There is no need to fear mining consumption of energy.
