Summary

Dipul Patel Solving the energy crisis is very important to me. It’s what led me to start Ecovent in 2013, and what ultimately made me choose Soluna as my new weapon to attack this problem. Asynchronous or Batch Compute is going to change the world. Video Rendering, AI, NLP, Machine Learning, Deep Data Modeling and Blockchain has already shown a glimpse of this – but that’s only the tip of the iceberg. The thing is, this new world needs a lot of very specific computing power, and those computers need energy. One of the biggest problems holding back green energy is integrating the variable supply of that energy with the aging electrical infrastructure (the grid) which supplies that energy to the consumers. A lot of attention is going into modernizing these grids, including adding huge, wasteful battery packs. We’ve developed a new data center that can be co-located with green energy sites, and make them vastly more profitable – completely disconnecting the reliance to the grid. This will unlock terawatts of green energy. So, humanity’s insatiable appetite for compute power will actually be the catalyst that ushers in a green revolution and finally puts oil out of business.
