if bitcoin mining makes you suddenly notice that you want these logistical nuances subsidized, after a hundred years of never noticing, then fine, compete with the miners at energy producing sites and legislatively that way
- viraptor 5y ago> after a hundred years of never noticing, then fine What are you even talking about? The issue of peak vs base load/generation is known for ages and getting only more relevant for planning these days since most renewables are not constant output.
- vmception 5y agoI'm talking about captured energy that was wasted directly into the atmosphere because it was uneconomical to send it somewhere else. You're talking about peak and base load.
- viraptor 5y agoThat is extremely related. We have the extra captured energy because we have base load handling plants that can't scale down quickly enough. This is not a new effect or something people suddenly started caring about.
