What does it make clear? That I can replace the space heater my wife runs 9 out of 12 months of the year with a home server? And effectively get $0.00 per token during those times?

In houses running A/C year round, sure there'd be some impact, but in all the places running heat, doesn't seem that it'd move the needle on power bills.

There are startups whose entire business model is "cloud server as a home space heater" (aka "data furnace") ...

That it’s pulling a lot of watts.

Good for you if it’s replacing electric space heaters.
