Bitcoiners Shouldn’t Fight Solar, They Should Embrace Resilience
By Robert Hall Solar energy and Bitcoin mining could work well together, as solar panels installed on rooftops can make households self-sufficient, promote personal sovereignty, and provide an alternative source of energy.
As rooftop solar makes individuals self-sufficient, it aligns with the values of Bitcoin, which emphasizes the need for decentralization. Rooftop solar can be unpredictable in supplying energy, and this excess energy could be used for Bitcoin mining instead of selling it to utility companies.
Bitcoiners should embrace solar energy and consider changing their perception of it as another ESG (environmental, social, and governance) attack vector. Decentralizing energy production is the only way to make a nation resilient to attack and keep the lights on in an emergency, and rooftop solar is the only technology that could do this at scale and relatively quickly. |
