I think nuclear fusion will be it, but what does the Minichan brain trust think?

I just think it's great Americans were shamed into buying Teslas when the infrastructure couldn't handle it. I'm still getting "conserve power" warnings from our local power company because they can't deliver. That and Bitcoin, then AI slurping up the premium watts... I'm just fucking done with these clowns. I'm living my life, they can figure it out or not, I don't care. I have candles.

Bitcoin enables a robust grid. It solves the energy demand duck curve problem, because producers always have a customer, in mining companies, for low cost energy during what would otherwise be a "low demand" time of day. It's the solution, not an additional challenge. Tell your local to start building out the infrastructure instead of sending you propaganda

Bitcoin and AI chatbots are a waste of good energy, and they contribute nothing to society.

> Bitcoin is a waste of energy
Even if that's true, it doesn't matter. It's a paying customer who will gladly shut off if prices peak. You can build all the nuclear and renewable power plants your community needs, thanks to Bitcoin. It is now profitable to sell plentiful energy all day long. Nuclear for peak demand is enabled. Our energy mix no longer needs to be dirtied with coal peaker plants at 5pm, for example. AI and bitcoin will continue to turn areas surrounding cheap hydroelectric or geothermal plants and other forms of stranded energy into successful communities and where large communities already exist you now have a large demand for cheap nuclear energy, solar, etc. Just start building.

We already harness cold fusion energy with solar panels.

I see no good reason to build power infrastructure for bitcoin mining when it's better to build it for factories or houses or anything else really.
