You said that at the best case you were 5 times higher cost than it being profitable.

I stated that actual electrical wholesaler prices are regularly below 5c per kWh. In actually practice they are often negative for a large part of the day where I live due to solar feed in.

By financially profitable not being the same as actual profit I assume that means the cost of capital and maintenance? Which is why I said that it could make sense for idle computing capacity.

I don't know what you mean by subsidised? This is wholesale prices.

What I am saying is that the returns are close to the marginal cost of production.

The subsidies are also financially expensive, obviously, so what seems like financial profit isn't usually even financial profit, let alone real profit (this applies in general across most industries in today's economy)
