Comment on Because AI and Crypto use to much electricity, what if a law was made that they had to power it with green energy?

Green energy is still not free energy.

Every amout of green energy a crypto miner uses is less green energy for everything else. You take 3% (country consumption) of capacity from the green grid, you must up at least 3% the production in existing coal plants.
