Energy generation will obviously through market forces alone become sustainable. If you look at any trend over the last 10 years it is beyond obvious. Even dirty generating power plants are more efficient than in vehicle combustion.

Market forces? Ok simple math problem Which of these market forces generates energy the same as a gas powered power plant? Which vehicle are we talking about? A hybrid? A PEZV vehicle, or how about a diesel simi truck? For how long? A year? A day? An hour? Please do tell where that info you got came from? A study or just from a tiktok clip or a tweet?

Tony Seba over at RethinkX does great work and has a proven track record. Plenty of charts in his recent talks, but go back 5 years there and it's damn accurate to today.

It's about cost per kwh, not about effectiveness of one building.

Ok, I did not expect a market analyst presentation. I wonder what his thoughts where with crypto.

Not sure exactly, my focus of research over the past 5 years has been mostly on energy/automotive, haven't read anything from his opinions outside of those two.
