    This is actually a solid use case for crypto mining. When supply outstrips demand, turn your excess solar power wattage into crypto instead of feeding it into the grid. 100% green, and helps stabilize the power grid to boot if you do it right.

      yeah the only downside with crypto is that it has absolutely 0 meaningful use cases AFAIK and also it does not only consume energy but also requires computer chips which are also expensive to produce. (wait, that was two downsides)
