I need to get into the business of being paid to not mine crypto. Sounds lucrative, and I have the skillset already.
At first glance, this makes zero sense, but once you dig in and read the details, it makes even less sense
I especially like the part where they say encouraging crypto mining will somehow create power grid innovations. What?
Not in Texas, at least. Our government here is in the habit of actively making everything worse, not better.
Trickle down grid, food, climate, whatever just fucking gimmie peasant. /s
That has the same energy as someone claiming they drive better tipsy than sober

Even if that’s their strategy you’re not guaranteed a return when mining. If you or your cluster don’t mine the block all of that energy was absolutely wasted. If we didn’t have a shitty ass isolated grid we could just sell the energy to another part of the country.
ERCOT is issuing power shortage warnings across Texas claiming they are due to “low performance of solar and wind technologies”. Absolute fucking liars. It’s sunny as fuck and also windy as fuck in Texas lately. If they are so “low performance”, why does ERCOT continue to heavily invest in them? Goddamn, conservatives are vile, sub-human pieces of shit.
ERCOT is lying to artificially inflate pricing and increase profits. Governor Abbot has received millions of dollars from them (that we know of), so the lies are effectively state sanctioned.
Fuck Abbot and fuck ERCOT. They are a cancer upon Texas.
There is no such thing as a “good conservative”. No. Such. Thing.
Shut down the big mines
