Sendler- I'm not disagreeing with the problem, only taking a less concerned outlook on things since humanity has a way of addressing problems as they come. Technology will continue to advance on all fronts, which should improve efficiency of energy consuming devices, provide alternative storage solutions, improve mining capabilities, and who knows what else the future holds.

I tend to share your pessimistic outlook on batteries being a viable grid storage solution and alternative energy replacing primary generation.

I wonder what our grid consumption looks like with all those Bitcoin farms powered off?
