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.

Why? Do you ever worry about exercising because the air is a finite resource?

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.

The rational reasoning is that the dollar cost of energy isn’t matching the environmental cost. We are destroying the planet for cheap so higher prices encourage less destruction.

Wouldn’t producing energy be the bad thing? If you collect all your energy from solar, I don’t care if you waste it, assuming our access to green energy is infinite.

Glad to know you are not struggling financially in any way.
