    These renewables, however, are intermittent sources of power, while data centers need a steady supply to run all the time. The tech companies are currently reliant on the grid whenever the wind isn’t blowing or sun isn’t shining.

    Gee, if only if they could have, say, containers of substances that could hold an electrical charge: perhaps—if you will—a “battery” of such containers.

    I live here in Toronto.

    When I go to a store, I pay with cash.

    I pay with Canadian money, because I’m a Canadian who buys from stores in Canada.

    That was easy to do in Ontario Wal-Mart stores.

    But then they put up self-check-outs that only accepted credit and debit cards—maybe because they’re in cahoots with the banks and the NSA/wp:CSEC.

    Then I had to use a cashier.

    So I went to Wal-Mart fewer times as I didn’t like to wait (as well as the increased prices during and after Covid-19).

    Now they have a person at the self-checkout who will scan my stuff and accept my cash.

    It seems that Wal-Mart adapted—somewhat—to people like me: people who pay with cash.

    Still, I do more purchases at Food Basics and Dollarama because their self-check-outs accept cash, including pockets full of loose change that I purposely carry when I go there.
