tl;dr delusional solar maxi spouting nonsense and trying to fit bitcoin into the narrative while saying "look, I'm on your side" to get morons to agree with him.
Tech illiterate moron who doesn't understanding chemical/industrial engineering, the notion of embodied energy (materials science 101) and operates primarily on feelings.
A dude wrote this, but he should really get his T levels checked, as all solar cucks should.
Here are the numbers for the non-retards. CRUX OF THE RETARDATION: THICC cables are not something you can magically produce more of "cheaply". Cables are basically raw materials that have a cost tied directly to their energy. Look at his reply below to the term "embodied" energy.
If you want to live in a better world, people like OP need to be vociferously and derisively SHAMED for their nonsense.

Interesting. And how long do these modern cables last for? What are the upkeep costs? Insurance? And how much value do they add? Of course these bits get left out and of course your data would come from a twitter bro lol. Glad I left that burning valley at my back. If you read my original post, you'd know there was a reason I started off by mentioning the first transatlantic cableβwhich was completed nearly 170 years ago. Cable laying ships, routes, and cables themselves have advanced quite a bit, nearly perfected. Imagine an idiot telling you in 1858 that telegraph cables were a scam, or in 1992 that internet cables would never get laid across oceans because trust me bro, they're too costly. How has that worked out? Now we're supposed to believe grid interconnectors are a scam because trust me bro, they don't work. Please see the numerous examples and links from my post of either completed projects, projects being built, or projects in planning. I left out at least a dozen more. There seems to be a difference between what I hear on twitter, and what I see in the real world. Going to trust my eyes, the data, and follow the money on this one.

A fixed ceramic insulator used with 14kVdc even at very low amps needs to be replaced every 10 years. So I suspect peak fiat incentives are at play here.
Would be better to spend on research on how to send power though the ionosphere.
HIGH VOLTAGE CREATES CHAOS! The magnetic field changes the crystal structure of the insulator over time. These cable experiments will be good for mining it will probably create lots of randomly stranded energy.
reply
Ceramic insulators are quite cheap to replace, but they've been slowly getting phased-out by polyethylene insulators since 2007 or so. And the new design pattern of cables and powerlines isn't overland but underground and underwater. The most expensive part of overland powerlines are the legal fights to build them. And in recent times the liability of forest fires and injury as well.

Are you saying they are using plastic on overhead high voltage powerlines now? If this is true you are breaking my world view?π€ͺ Seems like fiat regression in engineering..for me, high voltage = oxidation... oxidation + plastic = yes, break down

fuck off, scammer

Embodied energy and chemical engineering...I'm uncertain where you're trying to hide there dear Delta. Do we need to break down the entire backend of fossil fuel exploration, extraction, logistics, refining, accidents, and geopolitics? Embrace decentralized forms of renewable energy (that sun, the wind, and geothermal are all around us) and welcome their collapsing hardware costs. Embrace the design patterns to get people off the grid, and the design patterns to form renewable intermittence into glorious global distributions. Stop towing dictator lines about one-trick economies, where energy produced by a nationalized or private entity that never saw anti-trust accumulated all its power into their hands. We're undergoing a full-blown energy transition, with an emphasis on decentralized inputs. Sorry you thought a bitcoin standard was coming without an equally radical energy transition. And please, no more arguing with conceptions, we have data now. I provided a bunch of that in the post no? Besides the flagrant misquotes of course.

Embodied energy is a technical term. Computing things precisely is one thing and disputing the method and exact number is one thing, but you are denying the mathematical foundations of how things actually work. How things actually work is the basis of chemical engineering.
You go on to spout a bunch of word salad based on your FEELINGS because that is the only domain you know how to operate in. This was always confusing to me, but I have come to accept there are humans who are neurally wired in a way they are incapable of separating logical, numerical thoughts from their feelings.
People like you are extremely harmful and dangerous on a fiat standard when arrogant lunatics are able to violently impose their deranged feelings upon other. The incredible thing about Bitcoin is it renders lunatics like you harmless. After the transition, you will only be able to hurt yourself by making yourself poorer.
I suspect you will be unable to humble yourself. Alas, people like you becoming poorer means we may have capital misallocation persist a few decades after fiat dies in which all of you fools become broke (or humble later).
Fundamentally, you are a grifter and probably have a fake job that has conditioned you to believe your feelings and words are relevant or productive in the real world, and your employer's money printer access has allowed them to do this and subsidize your delusions.

I am glad you are able to remain blissfully unaware of things even as a bitcoiner. Truly incredible.

This made me laugh. YOUR FEELINGS ARE KILLING ME! Dam straight fools do the math!
