I had an idea to buy up 10 acres of land near Osoyoos to start a solar crypto farm, but I don't care so that's as far as it got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was mentioning silly stats for power usage, and for what? does it have to be set up this way? farming, mining... so dumb. Doa google on the power use estimates.

Doa google on the power use estimates. The power usage is goofy. It's a slimy business imo, good for criminals and grifters tho. Its one of those businesses that add no real value to anything, just takes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6of1_halfdozenofother Posted Friday at 09:28 PM Share Posted Friday at 09:28 PM Oil sands workers are resistant to transitioning to more jobs that are more sustainable and climate-friendly. Who knew? https://theconversation.com/oilsands-workers-are-resistant-to-sustainable-jobs-new-research-finds-239057 Excerpt: Quote Large, national-level efforts like the Sustainable Jobs Act are effective at setting high-level policy priorities. But without specific plans to account for the vast geographic diversity in the Canadian energy economy, policy packages like this can also drive regional animosity by making some communities feel like decarbonization “sacrifice zones.” Instead, we need to embed transition planning within a place-based approach to regional and community development. This means creating pathways for all communities to thrive in a low-carbon future. This is particularly true for single-resource and rural communities with economies that are often highly reliant on fossil fuels and tend to be located farther away from green jobs.
