And that's why I'm considering the energy usage. If it costs too much, somebody gives me a message to use less energy. For example I was able to build my NAS to use 20W of energy just because of the prices being so high.

Hopefully the investments to solar and wind will pay themselves at some point and the price of energy plummet.

It goes well beyond renewables. Even in Germany wind and solar are just not that expensive, it's a combination of subsides and failing to put aside money for decommissioning nuclear power plants.
