There is massive work being done to improve large scale energy storage (big batteries) so the renewables become less and less situational. Large scale energy storage is significantly less constrained than car batteries, because weight is a one time cost. Even gravity based batteries could become viable.

Also, in response to the previous commenter, electricity generation is by far and large the main source of emissions accounting for more than half, with more than a quarter being agriculture. Transportation is 14%, and given the future transition to electric vehicles, one might argue that half of that can be tack’d on to electricity generation’s share. (Half because electric cars are more than twice as efficient at energy conversion than petrol cars. Toss in some power line losses and that’s a reasonable estimate)

My only hesitation is, how does it scale? There might be a good answer, but I can’t seem to find it. If a specific page gets excessive popularity like /r/memes, is the entire burden of hosting that left to one instance? And can that load be shared somehow, either by adding more physical servers or getting help from other instances?

Miata is always the answer

While you’re probably right, I would like to know how it’s going to be handled on a technical level. I would imagine the protocol has to already have support for something along those lines, but I’m too lazy to go look and understand for myself. Maybe in a week or two if I don’t know it I’ll start looking at the sauce code

Shikadi ,

Horizontal scaling of instances is somewhat good enough for me, at least for now

There’s a cap on loss deductions, billionaires don’t care about deducting losses. Also he didn’t buy it with Tesla stock, he put up Tesla stock as collateral.
