Would help if people stopped using renewable for useless stuff so we could use it for essentials instead of having to build new renewable infrastructure in order to provide energy for both.
You must also be a crypto mining apologist, right?
See, you’re exactly the kind of person I’m talking about. Hydro Quebec will have to invest a fortune to create more infrastructure because of people like you. Our population is wasting about 25TWh at the moment and instead of pushing people to be fucking responsible with their energy usage, HQ will have to reduce their royalties to the government (that are used to pay for services to the population) in order to invest in the creation of wind turbine parks and guess what, that means we’ll have to pay more taxes or everyone’s hydro bill will increase to compensate for the little shits like you and there will be a huge environmental impact because contrary to what you morons believe we don’t just pull the materials necessary to build wind turbines out of our ass.
So you wasting energy on that crap will have a direct impact on my own wallet so fuck you. You don’t give a fucking crap about the environment, stop pretending you do.
Just because you don’t use AI or can’t understand its usefulness doesn’t mean that it’s useless.
I’ve been using AI every day for about 2 years now for various purposes.
If we’re going to use and need electricity for everything including cars, computers, AI, ovens, microwaves, etc. and cut everything related to gas,
Maybe the solution is actually getting and using more electricity more efficiently.
And using it for AI when we have basic needs that still rely fossil fuel isn’t using it efficiently.
Mind blown, right?
Evolution isn’t going to wait that everyone is using electricity instead of fossil fuel.
If basic needs are still using fossil fuel, get up to date.

No, I’m not.
That being said, I’m quite fortunate. I live in Quebec, Canada where most power comes from hydro and is quite cheap.
I use AI on my own computer and everything that I own uses electricity, except my car. I personally pay for every bit of power that I use.
I also care for environment. Yes, I do have a gasoline car but I prioritize walking and my ebike whenever that I can and within the reasonable.

First, I use Hydro Sherbrooke.
Second, I spend a total of around 30$ each month in electricity. Probably not as bad as you think.
Third, I work in tech and AI is an obvious part of my work.
Fourth, if my energy consumption triggers you that much, get a life bro.
Hydro Sherbrooke can only sell at the same rate as Hydro Quebec, doesn’t make a difference what provider you use.
