So is anybody with solar panels will tell you when your computing whether or not it's worth it to get solar panels people never correctly estimate the huge increases in power costs that will come in the future. They're coming now they'll happen even more in the future later. So while everybody else is starting to have huge power bill increases those of us who bought some solar panels that are specially disconnected from the grid have paid for our power up front once with cheap panels that if you're smart you bought used they're going to run as long as you live at 80% of their rated value continue to give you free power forever and ever and ever. And even batteries are cheap now and the new lithium phosphate iron batteries or dirt cheap and have 4,000 life cycles which means they're going to also probably live longer than you will so solar and lithium iron phosphate batteries are now cheaper then your utility bills will be even without subsidies which you should not get because to get subsidies you have to grid tie. And good tying your solar panels to the f****** grid is pretty much like declaring your freedom while giving somebody else Alicia around your neck. It's stupid as s. Anyway it's very similar to those people who say oh it's not worth it to mine Bitcoin because Bitcoin is only worth XYZ today and your power costs are going to be XYZ plus one but those dumb s* don't realize that the Bitcoin that is worth XYZ today is going to be worth XYZ times a thousand tomorrow and so it's the same with solar panels.

When everyone who is connected to the grid loses power, how will bitcoin work?

A lot of the people around me on co-ops (mostly old REA grids) say their prices have all but doubled.

Yikes. My energy bills were too low for solar panels to make sense. Now I'm thinking about going for it soon.
