Cheap power at what cost for our planet?
Not long ago we were crying death to bitcoin, it’s going to destroy the planet.
Come AI, with unlimited power demand. Everybody screaming we need more power.
We need infrastructure, clean energy, even nuclear. We are doing all in the wrong order.
China added 315GW of solar in 2025.
For context, EU added 65 and US 43.
In one year, China _added_ almost the total capacity EU has.
China is the one place where AI actually can use clean energy…
China is the leader in solar?
