Renewables aren't infinite; they are constrained, just as you said, by our manufacturing and natural resources to build vehicles to collect them.
Unless BTC somehow manufactures more solar panels or provides more natural resources, then any resources consumed by BTC are resources that aren't used for other purposes.
Ultimately, we are always limited in how much we can accomplish, and devoting resources to BTC necessarily takes away resources from other uses. The only question, then, is if BTC is a better use for those resources than other things.
- albertgoeswoof 6y agoThe idea is that economies of scale and increased incentives drive forward new innovation in technology that increase the amount of renewable energy that can be captured. Eg if we need to manufacture 100x more solar panels than last year, the cost per solar panel will drop dramatically, and the efficiency will rise due to the volume of investment in solar panels. We are not limited in how much we accomplish as technology provides efficiencies that allow us to grow, it’s not a zero sum game.
