Indeed Jay,
Solar Manufacturing Facilities should all be powered by solar as much as possible, as a closed loop this can assure that production can continue regardless of the grid condition. Nevertheless reservations are a bit concerned about the energy it takes to produce all this AI and this Crypt-Currency like Bitcoin. Truth is the human family can live very well upon this planet without any of this, as artificial intelligence by its very name suggest humans are not that intelligent so a machine is needed to govern these silly primates. There should be developed a better medium of exchange for sure but maybe one that does not use all that electricity just to buy, and trade goods and services among the various groups of human beings?
AI's Growing Power Needs: Tech Industry's Move Towards Nuclear Power
According to recent estimates, Bitcoin uses around 155 to 172 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity annually, which is comparable to the energy consumption of a country like Poland.
