Beware of Lazy Bitcoin Research | Insights

Bitcoin mining is mainly driven by renewable energy — hydro (by far the largest component), solar, wind and geothermal. Period.

From 2018, but it’s likely gotten better since then.


Addressing the dangers of lazy crypto industry research, and aiming to debunk the negative narrative that bitcoin detractors are attempting to create.

CNN exclusive: A solar panel in space is collecting energy that could one day be beamed to anywhere on Earth

The unit has yet to actually send power directly back to Earth, but that technology has already been proven. If the project develops into huge kilometers-wide space solar antennae, it could beam microwaves that would then be converted into fuel-free electricity to any part of the planet at a moment’s notice.


Scientists working for the Pentagon have successfully tested a solar panel the size of a pizza box in space, designed as a prototype for a future system to send electricity from space back to any point on Earth.
