The initial report he's responding to, one saying operating systems will try to schedule non critical tasks to times when electricity is cheaper, is actually a good idea.

For most consumers, power is cheap enough where that level of optimization isn't really noteworthy, but for larger industrial systems where power demand is a huge expense, that could actually save you a ton of money

And make sense energy wise. Sun is strong at day and sometimes there is strong wind ... sometimes none of both. But the main computation is done already, or soon mainly on GPUs. And there is the limiting factor currently not energy, but avaiable GPUs. So you want what you have to run 24h.

I am not sure if CPU tasks can make a huge difference. At least CPU tasks that are not needed now.
