Bitcoin consumes more energy than some countries,

A lot of people have critiqued bitcoin for the energy consumption it needed to create the best store of value.

At one point, everyone was attacking Bitcoin for its energy consumption.

It even led Tesla to instantly halt their involvement, costing them billions.

Now people are going deep into attacking artificial intelligence for the energy consumption,

The truth is energy consumption is key for any meaningful creation.

If we want to build a better future, we must create new tech and new innovations.

This will take energy.

A LOT OF ENERGY

We shouldn't criticize energy consumption, but rather celebrate it.

We are making progress. We are improving.

Energy consumption is a sign of development.

We need energy.

So let's figure out how to produce more energy at lower costs.

Bet on human ingenuity, rather than advocate for a return to the antiquated world of less energy consumption and less progress.

Those that encourage energy consumption will be on the right side of history.

Every. Single. Time.

Already there! Installed 17kW solar many years ago. Living on free energy now. Both house and cars are 100% solar powered on a yearly basis from sun energy!

I drive more miles than ever - because I have no fuel cost. I do wear out tires MUCH faster!

Privately owned solar with utility scale batteries would cut your electric bill in half (utilities don't like this setup since it disrupts their Government supported monopoly) but it will eventually win out.

This frees up energy and reduces prices for businesses. If business has more cheap abundant energy we all win.

Energy policies the last 30 years are horrific and misguided capital in the $100's of billions. Trillions. It's so dumb.

But some of that has to be directed at the individual that has options to produce their own energy now and we continue to rely on the Government run utilities.
