Building the meatspace's most complex engineering marvels. I'm here to lurk and look at graphs.

@rich_rdctd Fair. I got funding for the whole lot, but then the capex was higher back then.
Your figures look solid. The salespeople overestimate the savings from PV but then omit any arb or synergistic savings. Payback was just ~3yr for me.

@SuffolkBitcoin @joetidy @DSBatten @bitcoinpolicyuk Happy to answer any questions you have, Joe.

@MerrynSW Hi Merryn, the UK's intermittent wind oversupply will increase as we overbuild renewables.
That means diminishing returns on renewables, or even greater curtailment costs Batteries will help, but we need a demand-sink. I wrote a brief on this...

@LynAldenContact @MerrynSW Hi Lyn, big fan here. I work with Bitcoin Policy UK and I've recently published a little analysis paper that looks at this exact problem. The solution is probably no surprise to you...

@fistPUMPerio @LynAldenContact Yeah that was awesome. I had no idea if it was gonna land, or if I could even explain it. Really glad it worked out.

[Nick Bowick @DarthPeebles]

@un_censorable @PeterMcCormack @LynAldenContact He will!

@FurstAde @WhatBitcoinDid Ya know, it wasn’t really a single spreadsheet, I did a whole bunch of them over the years. Idea was always modelling min/avg/max of my situation vs the cost of living. There’s a whole bunch scattered across various work and personal laptops.

I’d encourage everyone to try it!
