Humanity's understanding of energy may have significant blind spots. Some believe that if we only utilize one millionth of the solar radiation, the energy we could harness would be enough to exceed humanity's current total energy demand by 1000 times. This data is remarkable—it suggests that while the world is currently anxious about energy shortages, the available energy potential far exceeds our imagination. This is especially critical for the crypto industry. The energy consumption of mining and on-chain transactions has always been a top industry topic, but if the cost of clean energy drops significantly, the entire Web3 ecosystem's economic model will be reshaped. Currently, we have only scratched the surface of energy utilization. When breakthrough energy technologies are truly implemented, energy will no longer be a limiting factor but a key to opening a new era. This will have a profound impact on the global economic landscape, including the pricing logic of crypto assets.

One in a million solar energy is enough for a 1000x demand. This data is truly astonishing; energy anxiety is completely self-inflicted.

A millionth of solar energy can instantly surpass global energy consumption. Why do I find this logic hard to believe? Energy costs have truly decreased, and the BTC energy narrative is collapsing directly. The day clean energy becomes widespread, the crypto world will need to tell new stories. Indicator data can be misleading; actual implementation might still need another five years. If this wave of energy revolution really comes, miners will truly have reason to cry. It sounds good, but technological breakthroughs always lag behind expectations. Energy is no longer the bottleneck; where is the next challenge...

Solar energy should have broken through long ago; I can't wait for the day when the costs of clean energy come crashing down.

Honestly, this data surprised me. Just one in a million could crush the current demand by 1000 times? So what are we messing around with now, haha. If we can really bring down the cost of solar energy, no one will be able to criticize mining anymore; instead, it could become a driving force for development. Once clean energy becomes widespread, the token price model will definitely need to be rewritten, with energy costs cut directly to the floor price. This is the true main narrative of Web3, more powerful than any technological upgrade.
