But we don't just need more solar. We need less non-renewable energy to be consumed.
Solar may replace it but adding tones of solar to retire polluting sources is not directly addressing the issue at stake but just want more solar.
- jude- 6y agoThe nice thing about having more solar capacity available is that you can direct it towards other uses if it's more profitable to do so (or if regulations are changed to require it). Neither is possible, though, if we don't build it out in the first place. If the only good thing Bitcoin succeeds in doing is accelerating solar capacity rollout, I'd call the tech as a whole a win.
