I don't understand how to reconcile those like you who claim we are going to continue automating and adding more machines vs those who say that we have to reduce our energy expenditures because they come from extraction of fossil fuels that are either going to end up being too costly to us
- arcticbull 4y agoEnergy expenditure shouldn't be wasted on frivolity and pyramid schemes like Bitcoin, first. Second, energy usage will increase - electricity usage in particular - in the coming decades. That doesn't have to come from fossil fuels. Nuclear, wind, solar and (to a lesser extent) hydro are all green, renewable, non-carbon energy sources that can easily get us everything we need. Ontario already does it!
