It would be interesting if people (consumers mostly) could be charged for the type of compute they spend our energy production on.

For example gamers, crypto fiends, people who stream content, etc. They should incur some extra charges for their compute spend.

It’s for the planet and maybe we could break doomerism by pricing it out.

Don’t we uh, already pay for our electricity consumption?
