Power plant boiled water for 140 years—the underlying logic really needs to change! China’s first molten-salt energy storage and carbon-dioxide power generation project, the Ruitan No., started construction in Yantai, Shandong. Overturning the Watt steam-engine era: using supercritical carbon dioxide instead of water steam, the equipment volume shrinks by nearly 90%. It can also turn wasted wind and wasted solar green electricity into high-temperature molten salt to store, like a super power bank. Many people only focus on competing for on-chain compute power, forgetting that the ultimate physical constraints of AI and encrypted networks are always energy and grid stability. The intermittency “deadly weakness” of wind and solar green power is forcing a qualitative change in long-duration energy storage and microgrids. In the future, whether it’s a 10,000-rack compute center or a decentralized PoW network, power arbitrage and DePIN energy on-chain will be the true foundational pillar. Do you think this kind of thermal battery can completely solve the power shortage for green computing? #BTC #Crypto #AI #Web3
