The electricity consumption in Texas (#ERCOT ) has grown a lot over the last 20 years amid population and economic growth. How has the intraday load pattern changed? ๐งต๐
It will be interesting to see how new industries - yes I'm thinking #Bitcoin mining - contribute not only to MWh used but intraday patterns. Especially outside of the largest zones (coast and north central). Miners response to #4CP events will also be interesting to follow.
Every month in 2022 has broken same-month record of electricity consumption in #ERCOT. The month of May broke the previous 2018 record by a whopping 4.7 TWh. June is also on track to blow previous records away - already 1.7 TWh higher than comparable period previous years.
@thrasher_dk@WendyRogersAZ I don't think you get my point. I've seen marketing companies luring people into losing schemes. I don't write articles saying that every single marketing company is a scam. If he was serious he should've pointed out a few examples and how to avoid them.
@bigxoidy @APompliano This article is from 2000? Wow... if it had been from 1994 I would have been a little more understanding. I can't even imagine a 2000 without internet.
@thrasher_dk@WendyRogersAZ Just read the whole article actually. Nowhere does he make even a serious argument that supports Ponzi-scheme for the whole industry. I wonder if he even knows what it is. He got the high-level technical descriptions right though.
@Elvirapolanco6@WendyRogersAZ A few quick online searches should answer most of your questions. If you're genuinely curious that is, and not just here to whine.
@mefbama@WendyRogersAZ It's the legislation they're involved with. Just like if politicians raise the maximum speed limit to 120 they're not necessarily involved with driving fast. Just the legislation around it.
Sooner or later businesses are going to demand getting paid in bitcoin. It's going to take a long time, but it will happen.
