I'm glad that energy is becoming more expensive because I suppose things like this will become economical. Running BOINC during the winter is fun, but the impact is trivial.
In a perfect world electricity would be free. It would be so abundant you wouldn’t have to worry about using it.
Of course, this implies that the energy is 100% green as well. By saying you’re glad energy is more expensive, you’re elucidating the main issue: wasting electricity is bad for the planet in many cases.
Glad to know you are not struggling financially in any way.
