Given solar powered proof of work tokens have value, as we see in markets, a small portion of any solar power plant can generate a constant stream of p.o.w. revenue which can fund expansion to any scale, so it doesn’t follow that transitioning to solar needs to have any cost at all.
Governments, banks, and the elites, don’t appear to want that to happen though, as we can see they are very anti-crypto.
Of course they will lose power whilst the mean value of free pow tokens from solar energy keeps going up.
And it will keep going up by Metcalfes law alone.
So it can’t be stopped.
Sooner or later, they are going to have to give in.
