Turning Solar Energy into Money: 10 Ways to Profit from Sunlight

The sun is an incredibly powerful and abundant source of energy, and there are many ways to turn sunlight into money. In this article, we will explore some of the most effective ways to do so. Install Solar Panels on Your Property One of the most direct ways to turn sunlight into money is by installing solar panels on your property. Solar panels are made up of photovoltaic (PV) cells that…

Solar is a market for (financial) lemons

There are only four more days left in my Kickstarter for the audiobook of The Bezzle, the sequel to Red Team Blues, narrated by @wilwheaton! You can pre-order the audiobook and ebook, DRM free, as well as the hardcover, signed or unsigned. There's also bundles with Red Team Blues in ebook, audio or paperback.

Rooftop solar is the future, but it's also a scam. It didn't have to be, but America decided that the best way to roll out distributed, resilient, clean and renewable energy was to let Wall Street run the show. They turned it into a scam, and now it's in terrible trouble. which means we are in terrible trouble.

There's a (superficial) good case for turning markets loose on the problem of financing the rollout of an entirely new kind of energy provision across a large and heterogeneous nation. As capitalism's champions (and apologists) have observed since the days of Adam Smith and David Ricardo, markets harness together the work of thousands or even millions of strangers in pursuit of a common goal, without all those people having to agree on a single approach or plan of action. Merely dangle the incentive of profit before the market's teeming participants and they will align themselves towards it, like iron filings all snapping into formation towards a magnet.

But markets have a problem: they are prone to "reward hacking." This is a term from AI research: tell your AI that you want it to do something, and it will find the fastest and most efficient way of doing it, even if that method is one that actually destroys the reason you were pursuing the goal in the first place.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/security/engineering/failure-modes-in-machine-learning

For example: if you use an AI to come up with a Roomba that doesn't bang into furniture, you might tell that Roomba to avoid collisions. However, the Roomba is only designed to register collisions with its front-facing sensor. Turn the Roomba loose and it will quickly hit on the tactic of racing around the room in reverse, banging into all your furniture repeatedly, while never registering a single collision:

https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2021/04/when-ais-start-hacking.html

This is sometimes called the "alignment problem." High-speed, probabilistic systems that can't be fully predicted in advance can very quickly run off the rails. It's an idea that pre-dates AI, of course – think of the Sorcerer's Apprentice. But AI produces these perverse outcomes at scale…and so does capitalism.

Many sf writers have observed the odd phenomenon of corporate AI executives spinning bad sci-fi scenarios about their AIs inadvertently destroying the human race by spinning off in some kind of paperclip-maximizing reward-hack that reduces the whole planet to grey goo in order to make more paperclips. This idea is very implausible (to say the least), but the fact that so many corporate leaders are obsessed with autonomous systems reward-hacking their way into catastrophe tells us something about corporate executives, even if it has no predictive value for understanding the future of technology.

Both Ted Chiang and Charlie Stross have theorized that the source of these anxieties isn't AI – it's corporations. Corporations are these equilibrium-seeking complex machines that can't be programmed, only prompted. CEOs know that they don't actually run their companies, and it haunts them, because while they can decompose a company into all its constituent elements – capital, labor, procedures – they can't get this model-train set to go around the loop:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/03/09/autocomplete-worshippers/#the-real-ai-was-the-corporations-that-we-fought-along-the-way

Stross calls corporations "Slow AI," a pernicious artificial life-form that acts like a pedantic genie, always on the hunt for ways to destroy you while still strictly following your directions. Markets are an extremely reliable way to find the most awful alignment problems – but by the time they've surfaced them, they've also destroyed the thing you were hoping to improve with your market mechanism.

Which brings me back to solar, as practiced in America. In a long Time feature, Alana Semuels describes the waves of bankruptcies, revealed frauds, and even confiscation of homeowners' houses arising from a decade of financialized solar:

https://time.com/6565415/rooftop-solar-industry-collapse/

The problem starts with a pretty common finance puzzle: solar pays off big over its lifespan, saving the homeowner money and insulating them from price-shocks, emergency power outages, and other horrors. But solar requires a large upfront investment, which many homeowners can't afford to make. To resolve this, the finance industry extends credit to homeowners (lets them borrow money) and gets paid back out of the savings the homeowner realizes over the years to come.

But of course, this requires a lot of capital, and homeowners still might not see the wisdom of paying even some of the price of solar and taking on debt for a benefit they won't even realize until the whole debt is paid off. So the government moved in to tinker with the markets, injecting prompts into the slow AIs to see if it could coax the system into producing a faster solar rollout – say, one that didn't have to rely on waves of deadly power-outages during storms, heatwaves, fires, etc, to convince homeowners to get on board because they'd have experienced the pain of sitting through those disasters in the dark.

The government created subsidies – tax credits, direct cash, and mixes thereof – in the expectation that Wall Street would see all these credits and subsidies that everyday people were entitled to and go on the hunt for them. And they did! Armies of fast-talking sales-reps fanned out across America, ringing dooorbells and sticking fliers in mailboxes, and lying like hell about how your new solar roof was gonna work out for you.

These hustlers tricked old and vulnerable people into signing up for arrangements that saw them saddled with ballooning debt payments (after a honeymoon period at a super-low teaser rate), backstopped by liens on their houses, which meant that missing a payment could mean losing your home. They underprovisioned the solar that they installed, leaving homeowners with sky-high electrical bills on top of those debt payments.

If this sounds familiar, it's because it shares a lot of DNA with the subprime housing bubble, where fast-talking salesmen conned vulnerable people into taking out predatory mortgages with sky-high rates that kicked in after a honeymoon period, promising buyers that the rising value of housing would offset any losses from that high rate.

These fraudsters knew they were acquiring toxic assets, but it didn't matter, because they were bundling up those assets into "collateralized debt obligations" – exotic black-box "derivatives" that could be sold onto pension funds, retail investors, and other suckers.

This is likewise true of solar, where the tax-credits, subsidies and other income streams that these new solar installations offgassed were captured and turned into bonds that were sold into the financial markets, producing an insatiable demand for more rooftop solar installations, and that meant lots more fraud.

Which brings us to today, where homeowners across America are waking up to discover that their power bills have gone up thanks to their solar arrays, even as the giant, financialized solar firms that supplied them are teetering on the edge of bankruptcy, thanks to waves of defaults. Meanwhile, all those bonds that were created from solar installations are ticking timebombs, sitting on institutions' balance-sheets, waiting to go blooie once the defaults cross some unpredictable threshold.

Markets are very efficient at mobilizing capital for growth opportunities. America has a lot of rooftop solar. But 70% of that solar isn't owned by the homeowner – it's owned by a solar company, which is to say, "a finance company that happens to sell solar":

https://www.utilitydive.com/news/solarcity-maintains-34-residential-solar-market-share-in-1h-2015/406552/

And markets are very efficient at reward hacking. The point of any market is to multiply capital. If the only way to multiply the capital is through building solar, then you get solar. But the finance sector specializes in making the capital multiply as much as possible while doing as little as possible on the solar front. Huge chunks of those federal subsidies were gobbled up by junk-fees and other financial tricks – sometimes more than 100%.

The solar companies would be in even worse trouble, but they also tricked all their victims into signing binding arbitration waivers that deny them the power to sue and force them to have their grievances heard by fake judges who are paid by the solar companies to decide whether the solar companies have done anything wrong. You will not be surprised to learn that the arbitrators are reluctant to find against their paymasters.

I had a sense that all this was going on even before I read Semuels' excellent article. We bought a solar installation from Treeium, a highly rated, giant Southern California solar installer. We got an incredibly hard sell from them to get our solar "for free" – that is, through these financial arrangements – but I'd just sold a book and I had cash on hand and I was adamant that we were just going to pay upfront. As soon as that was clear, Treeium's ardor palpably cooled. We ended up with a grossly defective, unsafe and underpowered solar installation that has cost more than $10,000 to bring into a functional state (using another vendor). I briefly considered suing Treeium (I had insisted on striking the binding arbitration waiver from the contract) but in the end, I decided life was too short.

The thing is, solar is amazing. We love running our house on sunshine. But markets have proven – again and again – to be an unreliable and even dangerous way to improve Americans' homes and make them more resilient. After all, Americans' homes are the largest asset they are apt to own, which makes them irresistible targets for scammers:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/06/06/the-rents-too-damned-high/

That's why the subprime scammers targets Americans' homes in the 2000s, and it's why the house-stealing fraudsters who blanket the country in "We Buy Ugly Homes" are targeting them now. Same reason Willie Sutton robbed banks: "That's where the money is":

https://pluralistic.net/2023/05/11/ugly-houses-ugly-truth/

America can and should electrify and solarize. There are serious logistical challenges related to sourcing the underlying materials and deploying the labor, but those challenges are grossly overrated by people who assume the only way we can approach them is though markets, those monkey's paw curses that always find a way to snatch profitable defeat from the jaws of useful victory.

To get a sense of how the engineering challenges of electrification could be met, read McArthur fellow Saul Griffith's excellent popular engineering text Electrify:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/12/09/practical-visionary/#popular-engineering

And to really understand the transformative power of solar, don't miss Deb Chachra's How Infrastructure Works, where you'll learn that we could give every person on Earth the energy budget of a Canadian (like an American, but colder) by capturing just 0.4% of the solar rays that reach Earth's surface:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/10/17/care-work/#charismatic-megaprojects

But we won't get there with markets. All markets will do is create incentives to cheat. Think of the market for "carbon offsets," which were supposed to substitute markets for direct regulation, and which produced a fraud-riddled market for lemons that sells indulgences to our worst polluters, who go on destroying our planet and our future:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/04/14/for-sale-green-indulgences/#killer-analogy

We can address the climate emergency, but not by prompting the slow AI and hoping it doesn't figure out a way to reward-hack its way to giant profits while doing nothing. Founder and chairman of Goodleap, Hayes Barnard, is one of the 400 richest people in the world – a fortune built on scammers who tricked old people into signing away their homes for nonfunctional solar):

https://www.forbes.com/profile/hayes-barnard/?sh=40d596362b28

If governments are willing to spend billions incentivizing rooftop solar, they can simply spend billions installing rooftop solar – no Slow AI required.

            To clarify on the Nizziverse’s definition of Energon; It’s considered the purest form of energy possible, an innovation and process invented by the Cybertronian race. The process that gathers energy from any source, be it solar, electric, thermal, etc., is deeply optimized and consolidated to strain as much as possible. It’s simply the most efficient way to harvest power, wasting next to nothing and teetering on the edge of the laws of thermodynamics.

         As such a pure and refined fuel source, it’s ideal for an entire race of transforming, sapient machines, who no doubt require a LOT of energy to function. The typical container for Energon is a cube matrix, of which THE Cube, artifact of Micronus Prime, is the ultimate example of and in some accounts was the inspiration for.

         Energon also makes for an incredibly volatile explosive, due to its consolidated, purified nature. It’s an incredibly valuable commodity on the intergalactic black market, with other civilizations paying plenty for even a single cube of Energon, and the process of creating it is a highly valued secret of the Cybertronians. It requires a specific technology, devised and maintained by ‘Energon farmers’, who overlook the colonization of worlds and their natural energy into raw Energon, evaluating them for their fuel value and potential.

         Energon is the basis, the goal, of the Great War. The striving foundation for all Cybertronian existence. A Spark is a consolidated form of Energon, given a unique life and soul, its own Energon signature. Cybertron has a deep hunger for it, a massive Energon quota its inhabitants must meet to sustain it, and that’s not even getting into the Energon needs of the Cybertronians themselves!

         Expansion of Cybertron’s surface by the Functionists necessitated higher rates of Energon than the planet itself could supply, not even with its Allspark. Thus, the Functionist Council looked to the stars to harvest, and while initially they settled for sustainable practices, their short-term yields did not prove enough for Cybertron’s increasingly impatient demands. Thus, the Cybertronian Empire settled for simply grinding up sources of Energon and consuming them all at once in one big bang; Plenty in the short-term, but not much in the long-term, not when compared to sustainable, gradual farming.

         Energon can be strained from just about anything, though what’s left is sucked dry. Even organic bodies yield Energon, since they require their own sources of energy to run on… As do Transformers themselves, of course. Deathrow inmates on Cybertron would have their bodies and sparks harvested, recycled into raw Energon; What they could not offer in life, they can at least make up for in death. Energon is not natural, and is said to have been reverse-engineered from the very Sparks of Transformers and their home planet; Others claim it as a gift from Primus, though the two origins aren’t mutually exclusive.

         The Covenant of Primus tells of an afterlife in the Well of Allsparks, of endless fields of energon; For the Cybertronian existence is a constant effort to produce that elusive Energon to subsist on. Other forms of energy, such as electricity, can do in a pinch for Cybertronians; But Energon is where it’s really at. It can fuel self-repair systems, and meet bodily demands more efficiently than other fuel sources.

         As Cybertron’s so-called Golden Age progressed, some Transformers raised concerns about the mass plundering of worlds and other sources of energy, forsaking sustainability in favor of short-term profit. The assumption that there would always be another world and source of Energon to harvest seemed dangerously unreliable, because what if there wasn’t? Sometimes the empire would go for long periods before they found a new source, and there was no guarantee they’d be there.

         It was a matter of practicality; Cybertronians feared they had not just maximized energy, but entropy as well. Inevitably, a moral element was also infused into the debate, with many decrying the destruction of nature and entire worlds teeming with life, and even sapient races and civilizations. The Functionists, and later the Decepticons, justified this by pointing to Cybertron’s massive needs; It was a dilemma of their own world VS others, a necessary evil. While the Decepticons did correct the mistakes of the Functionists by ceasing expansion of Cybertron’s surface, the energy demands they eventually stopped at were still enormous.

         As the Autobot faction emerged, there was also inner debate and conflict; Some Autobots were motivated by morality, others only by practicality. Some Autobots simply didn’t care for organic life, they just recognized the wasteful nature of immediate consumption. This of course garnered critique by others, who were in turn labelled as overly-sentimental. Indeed, some Autobots suggested occupation instead of harvesting; Enslaving other worlds to harvest their own Energon for them, while allowing them to still survive in the long-term. Such an idea was appalling to Optimus Prime, but in the middle of a Great War, he couldn’t focus on ideological in-fighting, just on the main physical fight itself; He could discuss this later. He HAD to discuss it later, his priorities were tied.  

         As the Autobots made their presence known to humanity, they often negotiated with stores of Energon; Usually offering it in exchange for addressing some sort of humanitarian crisis. Optimus, inevitably, became involved in the issues of humanity, and found concern in the plights of many, seeking to help. Energon was his bargaining chip with human governments, as acting by force could have the Autobots easily labelled as conquerors no different than the Decepticons.

         There was some guilt on Optimus’ behalf, of course; If he REALLY cared, should he not just give away the secrets of Energon creation to humanity, for free? Withholding it gave the Autobots power to bargain with, a type of power that wasn’t brute force or threat. In the end, with the Great War seemingly coming to a close after Dark of the Moon, humanity was made privy to the Energon process. Humans and Cybertronians began to work hand-in-hand, sharing technology to co-exist.

         But for some Transformers, this raised fears of redundancy amongst the humans, fears that they were no longer needed and even obsolete, if the humans now had the same technology; Cybertronians needed to maintain their own unique power and capabilities from other races, lest they become just like any other, and lose a certain ‘identity’ and sovereignty. There was a paranoia of humanity co-opting and appropriating Cybertronians, learning to make their own, a new generation under organic thumb. It would be organics who assimilated Cybertronians this time, not the other way around.

         Hence discussions of an ‘Age of Extinction’ as the Cybertronian race dwindled due to Energon shortages, now relying on short-term sustainability, in addition to the wounds of the Great War; This of course proved to be fertile recruiting grounds for Decepticon cells still operating in the shadows, who latched onto these anxieties and fed into them. Optimus promised and reminded Cybertronians to take heed of science; It’d be an investment, but eventually they’d start rebuilding Energon supplies. But for some anxious Cybertronians, their race was entering a lull and dark age that the Autobots had guided them towards; A very vulnerable lull that they might not even come back from. Once-great warriors were now starving refugees at the mercy of their asylum, so the Decepticons warned.

        The conflict of the Transformers is an Energon race; After all, G1 was inspired by the real-life fuel shortages and crisis, and was fairly explicit in its portrayals of Energon too. It’s all about sustainability in the end, being able to meet needs while also keeping those demands reasonable. Wastefulness and the prioritization of short-term profit is also a big deal, tied into the massive accumulation of resources, which the Decepticons promise security from. There’s definitely an idea of taking just what you need here, and offering something back in return.

Sometimes, I think the only way things are going to get better - to get the corps. to stop polluting, to actually get cheap and efficient electric / solar cars and decent transit systems and everything else we actually need to keep from destroying everything is to find a way to make clean energy profitable.  As in more profitable than the current system.  Perhaps even in a way that status-quo is secured and the poor stay poor and the rich stay rich and the profits are maximized and we continue on in Hell - but... not destroyed, at least.   I am not defending the current system.  I hate late-stage Capitalism as much as any tumblrina, I just feel like nothing’s going to change, I’m losing hope and I think the only way to get the people who would sell each and every one of us out for a penny to STOP is to make it actually more money-and-power-generating for them to save the Earth than to kill it.  God knows they aren’t going to turn around without a profit-motive.  

"... “I’m taking action because I feel desperate,” said U.S. climate scientist Peter Kalmus, who along with several others locked himself to the front door of a JPMorgan Chase building in Los Angeles. A recent report found that the financial giant is the biggest private funder of oil and gas initiatives in the world.

“It’s the 11th hour in terms of Earth breakdown, and I feel terrified for my kids, and terrified for humanity,” Kalmus continued. “World leaders are still expanding the fossil fuel industry as fast as they can, but this is insane. The science clearly indicates that everything we hold dear is at risk, including even civilization itself and the wonderful, beautiful, cosmically precious life on this planet. I actually don’t get how any scientist who understands this could possibly stay on the sidelines at this point.” ..."

Local business owners are meticulous about documenting expenses such as rent, utilities, equipment, office supplies, travel, and marketing costs. Even business meals, when conducted with clients or partners, qualify for partial deductions.

The more accurately these expenses are recorded, the larger the tax benefits. Owners use accounting software to streamline tracking and ensure that no deductible expense is overlooked, helping to reduce taxable income by significant margins.

2. Accelerating Depreciation on Key Assets

Depreciation is a powerful tool that allows businesses to spread out the cost of high-value purchases, such as machinery, vehicles, or technology systems. Local businesses are accelerating these deductions through Section 179 of the U.S. tax code, which permits the immediate deduction of qualified asset purchases.

For instance, a bakery purchasing new ovens can write off the entire cost in the year of purchase, boosting cash flow while lowering the tax burden. Accelerated depreciation ensures local entrepreneurs can reinvest in their businesses faster and maintain operational efficiency.

3. Making the Most of Available Tax Credits

Tax credits are a favorite among business owners because they provide direct dollar-for-dollar reductions on the amount of tax owed. Popular credits include:

Energy Investment Credits for installing solar panels or energy-efficient equipment.

Work Opportunity Tax Credits for employing individuals from underrepresented groups.

Research and Development (R&D) Credits for businesses investing in innovation or product development.

A restaurant that hires veterans or a retail shop that adopts sustainable practices can claim credits, directly lowering their tax obligations and contributing to social or environmental goals.

4. Offering Employee Benefits for Tax Breaks

Providing employees with benefits like retirement plans and health insurance isn’t just good for retention; it also reduces tax burdens. Contributions to retirement plans such as SIMPLE IRAs or 401(k)s are tax-deductible for the employer. Health insurance premiums paid on behalf of employees also count as deductible business expenses.

Small businesses that provide affordable health plans may qualify for the Small Business Health Care Tax Credit, further reducing their tax liabilities while enhancing employee satisfaction.

5. Choosing the Optimal Business Structure

The structure of a business plays a crucial role in how taxes are applied. Local entrepreneurs are making informed decisions to select business structures that align with their financial goals. Many prefer LLCs or S-corporations for their tax efficiency since profits are passed through to the owner’s personal tax returns, avoiding double taxation.

S-corporations also allow owners to split income between salaries and distributions, lowering payroll taxes. Regular consultation with accountants ensures businesses choose the structure that offers the most benefits as their operations grow and evolve.

6. Tapping into Local and State Tax Incentives

Many municipalities and states offer attractive incentives for businesses willing to invest in the local community. These incentives include tax abatements, payroll tax breaks, and grants aimed at promoting economic development.

A local business that opens a store in an underserved area or hires from the local workforce can qualify for additional tax incentives. Some cities also offer property tax reductions for businesses that adopt environmentally friendly practices, such as installing energy-efficient lighting or using electric vehicles.

7. Using Loss Management to Offset Future Gains

Not every year will be a profitable one, but business owners can use losses strategically. Tax codes allow businesses to carry forward or carry back losses, meaning they can use losses from less profitable years to offset taxable income in future or previous years.

A seasonal tourism business that experiences losses in a slow year can carry those losses forward to offset profits when business picks up. This strategy helps stabilize cash flow and ensures that businesses are not overburdened with taxes during more successful years.

8. Staying Updated on Tax Laws and Deadlines

Navigating tax benefits requires staying up to date with changing regulations. Local businesses are working with accountants year-round to keep track of new laws and deadlines, ensuring they remain compliant and avoid penalties.

Cloud-based accounting systems have also become essential tools, giving business owners real-time visibility into their finances and tax status. Timely filing and accurate documentation are key to ensuring that all deductions and credits are captured.

9. Outsourcing Tax Planning for Expert Guidance

Many small business owners are choosing to outsource their tax planning to professionals who specialize in tax law. Certified accountants not only handle tax filing but also provide advice on ways to restructure operations for better tax outcomes.

With expert guidance, businesses are discovering new ways to optimize their taxes, such as claiming hidden deductions or leveraging specialized industry credits. Outsourcing reduces the burden on business owners, allowing them to focus more on growth and daily operations.

10. Proactive Preparation Throughout the Year

Successful businesses no longer wait until tax season to begin preparing their returns. By treating tax preparation as a continuous process, local entrepreneurs are avoiding the last-minute scramble.

They keep accurate records, regularly review financial statements, and set aside funds for tax payments throughout the year. Automated accounting tools help track expenses and revenue, providing insights that allow for more strategic planning.

Proactive preparation ensures that businesses not only meet tax deadlines but also identify every opportunity to reduce their obligations.

Maximizing tax benefits is an essential part of running a profitable local business. From leveraging deductions and credits to offering employee benefits and adopting sustainable practices, local entrepreneurs are using every tool available to minimize tax burdens. By staying informed, working with experts, and preparing year-round, business owners are transforming taxes from a liability into an opportunity for growth.

With the right strategies in place, taxes become more than just an obligation—they become a powerful tool for reinvestment and long-term success.

How Bitcoin Miners Are Becoming the Essential Power Source for AI Data Centers

Following the Bitcoin reward halving earlier this year, which reduced mining profits by 50%, many cryptocurrency miners are turning to artificial intelligence (AI) business models. In light of the cryptocurrency market’s volatility, Bitcoin miners are adapting their existing infrastructure to serve the data storage and computing needs of the AI sector. This transition not only provides a more stable and predictable revenue stream for firms operating in the mining industry, but it could also yield substantial benefits for the wider technology landscape. Energy has become a critical commodity in the AI industry due to the soaring demand for heavy-duty computing capacity. This is driven by AI applications such as ChatGPT, which reportedly require 10 times more energy than a standard Google search. To address this growing demand, AI companies are actively on the hunt for affordable power sources and large expanses of land for data centers. Having sufficient power available now is vital when considering it takes years to build high-performance computing (HPC) data centers from scratch, with current wait times for electrical-grid connections extending up to six years. In the industry’s favor, Bitcoin miners’ expertise in leveraging advanced equipment and securing substantial, low-cost energy makes them highly valuable partners for powering AI-driven data centers. In Bitcoin’s early days, miners discovered that expanding their computer rigs significantly boosted their profits, leading them to build vast server farms that harnessed cheap energy sources and operated around the clock – this is the scale that the AI industry is now seeking. Additionally, the advanced infrastructure developed by some Bitcoin miners, originally designed to solve complex cryptographic puzzles, is equally capable of handling the computationally intensive tasks required by AI. While not all mining rigs meet the standards of data center-grade infrastructure, more advanced miners have a proven track record deploying state-of-the-art technologies and engineering solutions like direct-to-chip cooling to get the best possible performance out of hardware. This capability enables Bitcoin miners to diversify their revenue streams and maximize returns on their investments. Many mining companies are already capitalizing on this opportunity. For example, Core Scientific (CORZ) has announced a partnership to host over 200 MW of graphic processing units (GPUs) for the AI startup CoreWeave. This contract is expected to generate net profits of approximately $3.78 billion, reflecting a 71% return. It’s clear that such collaborations can be a win-win situation as AI companies benefit from the infrastructure Bitcoin miners provide, while miners gain from the stability and potential profitability of AI computing revenue amid the current AI boom. With AI-driven data centers expected to account for 3% of the nation's electricity by 2026, and Bitcoin mining already consuming up to 2.3% of the nation’s electricity, their combined impact could lead to even greater energy demands and environmental consequences. Together, these two sectors could significantly strain the power grid and contribute to increased carbon emissions. In fact, the International Energy Agency (IEA) reported that data centers in the US will consume twice as much electricity by 2026, largely driven by the demands of cryptocurrency mining and AI. To reduce these risks and ensure a sustainable partnership, Bitcoin mining operations need to invest in renewable energy sources, including wind, solar, and hydroelectric power. New research suggests that integrating Bitcoin mining with green hydrogen could facilitate a faster transition to clean energy, potentially increasing the capacity of solar and wind power installations by up to 73%. AI technologies can also play a crucial role in enhancing sustainability by optimizing renewable energy usage, dynamically adjusting energy sources based on availability and cost to reduce carbon footprints. Notably, Bitcoin miners have experience leveraging renewable energy sources and demand response programs to deliver enhanced grid stability. As a uniquely curtailable load, Bitcoin mining is suited to active power management. This improves grid stability and helps support the usage of intermittent energy sources such as wind and solar. Flexible usage means renewables can be maximized, rain or shine. While some AI workloads are not curtailable to the same extent, the strategies and relationships developed by miners can help them ensure grid stability even as their overall energy usage increases. As Bitcoin mining evolves to support AI’s data and computing needs, prioritizing sustainability is essential. At the same time, we must not overlook the importance of establishing and adhering to regulatory frameworks. By implementing effective regulations, we can balance innovation with sustainable practices reasonably, ensuring technological advancements do not come at the expense of the environment. For instance, Germany has been at the forefront of enacting regulatory frameworks like the German Energy Efficiency Act. This legislation introduced new rules on energy efficiency, energy reuse, power supply from renewable energies and energy management systems – all intended to make the operation of data centers more sustainable. Implementing similar regulations that align technological advancements with sustainable practices can significantly help alleviate strain on the power grid and reduce energy consumption, while ensuring that growth benefits both the energy sector and broader business objectives. Ultimately, achieving sustainability in AI-driven and Bitcoin mining operations requires a collaborative effort between government and industry players. As these new partnerships develop, they promise benefits for both sectors. However, we must remain committed to reducing energy consumption and mitigating the impact on the power grid. By working together, we can ensure that these technological advancements drive progress while also supporting environmental stewardship.   LowEndBox is a go-to resource for those seeking budget-friendly hosting solutions.

Scott Dylan on Balancing Profit and Purpose in Property Development

In the world of business, the pursuit of profit often seems at odds with the desire to create meaningful, lasting change. However, for Scott Dylan, director of Dylan Luxury Construction and a seasoned entrepreneur, this doesn’t have to be the case. Over his years in the property development industry, Scott has carved out a unique path, proving that profitability and purpose can not only coexist but thrive together.

Scott Dylan’s approach is rooted in the belief that businesses have a responsibility to contribute positively to society. For him, success isn’t solely measured in financial terms but also by the impact a project has on the community and the environment. In this article, we’ll explore Scott Dylan’s insights on balancing profit and purpose in property development, and how his philosophy is shaping the future of the industry.

The Evolution of Property Development: From Profit-Driven to Purpose-Led

Traditionally, property development has been seen as a profit-driven industry, with developers focusing on maximizing financial returns. While financial success is important, Scott Dylan believes that modern property development needs to embrace a broader vision—one that includes environmental sustainability, community well-being, and social responsibility.

“As developers, we have the opportunity to shape the world around us,” Scott explains. “It’s not just about building structures; it’s about building communities where people can live, work, and thrive. When we focus on creating spaces that serve a purpose, we naturally create long-term value, which ultimately drives profitability.”

1. Purpose as a Driver of Profitability

One of the key lessons Scott Dylan has learned throughout his career is that purpose-driven projects often lead to better financial outcomes in the long run. “When you design with purpose, you’re not just chasing short-term gains,” he says. “You’re creating properties that stand the test of time, properties that people want to live in, invest in, and be a part of.”

Scott points to several examples where a commitment to sustainability and community-focused design has translated into higher property values, greater tenant satisfaction, and increased demand. For instance, projects that incorporate green spaces, energy-efficient features, and community amenities tend to attract a wider range of buyers and renters who are willing to pay a premium for properties that align with their values.

“People today are more conscious of where and how they live,” Scott notes. “They want homes that reflect their lifestyle and their principles. By focusing on purpose—whether it’s sustainability, social impact, or wellness—we’re meeting that demand and creating value that goes beyond the initial investment.”

2. Sustainable Development: A Pillar of Purpose

Sustainability is a cornerstone of Scott Dylan’s philosophy in property development. He believes that the environmental impact of a project should be as important as its profitability, if not more so. For Scott, sustainable development isn’t just an ethical responsibility—it’s also a smart business strategy.

“Green buildings are the future,” Scott says. “They’re not only better for the environment, but they’re also more cost-effective in the long term. Energy-efficient designs reduce operating costs, while sustainable materials ensure longevity and lower maintenance.”

Scott’s projects often feature solar energy systems, energy-efficient windows, smart HVAC systems, and sustainable building materials like bamboo and recycled steel. These eco-friendly features not only reduce the environmental footprint of his developments but also increase their appeal to buyers and investors who prioritize sustainability.

In addition to the environmental benefits, Scott sees sustainable development as a key differentiator in an increasingly competitive market. “Sustainability adds real value to a property,” he explains. “It’s something that resonates with today’s buyers, particularly younger generations who are looking for homes that align with their values.”

3. Building Communities, Not Just Buildings

For Scott Dylan, property development isn’t just about creating homes—it’s about building communities. One of the ways he balances profit and purpose is by focusing on the social impact of his projects. From affordable housing initiatives to community engagement programs, Scott’s developments are designed to enhance the lives of the people who live and work in them.

“Developers have a huge influence on the fabric of a community,” Scott says. “We’re not just putting up walls and roofs—we’re creating places where people interact, where families grow, and where businesses thrive. It’s our responsibility to ensure that we’re contributing to the well-being of those communities.”

Scott is a strong advocate for mixed-use developments that incorporate residential, commercial, and public spaces. This approach fosters a sense of community and encourages social interaction, making his developments more than just places to live—they become vibrant neighborhoods.

Moreover, Scott believes in the importance of giving back to the communities in which he works. Through his involvement with charitable organizations, such as Food For Needy People, Scott and his wife Rusona are committed to supporting local initiatives and providing resources to those in need.

“Profit should never come at the expense of people,” Scott emphasizes. “When we give back to the community, whether through charitable work or by creating inclusive, accessible spaces, we’re contributing to a greater purpose. That’s what true success looks like.”

4. Long-Term Thinking: Creating Enduring Value

A key aspect of Scott Dylan’s approach to balancing profit and purpose is his focus on long-term value. Unlike some developers who focus solely on short-term profits, Scott takes a more patient approach, prioritizing projects that deliver enduring value for both investors and the community.

“Developing for the short term might yield quick profits, but it often leads to unsustainable practices and missed opportunities,” Scott explains. “When you build with the long term in mind, you’re creating properties that will appreciate over time and continue to provide value for years to come.”

This long-term thinking extends to every aspect of Scott’s projects, from the materials used to the design of the buildings themselves. By focusing on durability, functionality, and future-proofing, Scott ensures that his developments not only stand the test of time but also remain desirable and valuable for decades.

Scott also emphasizes the importance of adaptability in his designs. “We’re living in a world that’s constantly changing,” he says. “Our homes and buildings need to be adaptable, whether it’s through flexible floor plans, smart technology, or energy-efficient systems. The more adaptable a property is, the more valuable it becomes in the long run.”

5. Purpose in the Workforce: Leading with Values

Scott Dylan’s commitment to balancing profit and purpose extends beyond his projects—it’s also reflected in the way he runs Dylan Luxury Construction. He believes that a purpose-driven company culture is key to attracting and retaining top talent, which in turn drives innovation and business success.

“At the core of every great company is a great team,” Scott says. “We’ve built a culture that values integrity, creativity, and social responsibility. Our employees know that their work is contributing to something bigger than just the bottom line—they’re helping to create spaces that make a difference in people’s lives.”

By fostering a values-driven workplace, Scott has built a team of passionate, dedicated professionals who share his vision of creating purpose-driven developments. This commitment to purpose not only makes his company stronger but also ensures that every project is executed with care, thoughtfulness, and integrity.

Conclusion: The Profit-Purpose Balance

Scott Dylan’s approach to property development is a powerful reminder that profitability and purpose don’t have to be mutually exclusive. By focusing on sustainability, community impact, and long-term value, Scott has found a way to create developments that not only generate financial success but also make a positive difference in the world.

For Scott, the ultimate goal is to leave a lasting legacy—one that goes beyond buildings and profits. “At the end of the day, it’s about the impact you make,” he says. “When you prioritize purpose, the profits will follow. But more importantly, you’ll have created something meaningful, something that lasts, and something that truly matters.”

Scott Dylan’s philosophy of balancing profit and purpose is shaping the future of property development, and his work stands as a testament to what’s possible when we choose to lead with values. By focusing on the greater good, Scott is proving that the most successful projects are those that benefit not only investors but also the communities and environments in which they are built.
