Economics are fully at work in every market, including renewables. If it's more profitable to... I'm not even sure what your alternative would be but I'll say feeding the energy back into the grid, then miners would do it. It's definitely not up to you to decide what people can and can't do with their energy, especially off-grid renewables, just because you perceive their use to be "wasteful"

- michaelscott 5y agoWe're talking about renewables? How is that frying the planet?
- user-the-name 5y agoWe are talking about energy. Most of it is not produced by renewables. Any renewable energy that is being wasted on cryptocurrency bullshit is not going into displacing coal and gas, which are currently frying the planet.
