Anyone else get this? [Screenshot_20210513-150601834] The gist seems to say that a power plant shut down due to not enough hydro (I’m guessing energy overload.) Apparently it’s Xingda Power Plant in…Kaohsiung? [image] Hsinta Power Plant The Hsinta Power Plant or Hsing-ta Power Plant…

You guys really haven’t lived in 3rd world countries. We have frequent power outages, like weekly, that last for hours. Heaven forbid a major natural disaster, that would be months.

They’re on a different “grid”…like “essential services” or industrial grid.

Wait until they start mining crypto…

ETH 2.0 will use 99.5% less power.
