Great. There is only so many plants to go around. The fast growing energy consumption from crypto may be that real push that we need to move to renewables as no other type of energy production can be built up that much more and that fast. Nothing moves things faster than war and/or straight economic interest. Once crypto energy consumption grows an order or two of magnitude more, it would produce a real interest in space and fusion. Push for progress is coming from an unexpected side :)
In the meantime i think we'll see something like large barges/platforms with wind turbines floating somewhere in windy international waters - cuts the costs of permits, etc. May be some startups around it ...
