I was really disappointed with the lack of analytics / historical data.
Thankfully the open source beetstat makes ecobee a lot more useful, with full history and graphs for heat/cool runtime, aux heat, indoor/outdoor humdity, etc
So the utility has a certain set of existing infrastructure capable of producing electricity at lets say 10c/kw. Accepting all the crypto miners might force them to introduce new capacity at 16c/kw or buy from another grid at a high rate during peak, raising prices for home consumers.
I'm not sure if that would really mitigate the too big to fail. If other financial institutions are holding these investment grade bonds and the bank fail I think we're just going to see a domino effect. The other financial institution that were holding the bonds are now going to have a big hole in their balance sheet and that could then make them insolvent.
So the primary bank that failed might still be standing but you'll have many other institution getting hit pretty hard because what they considered safe capital just vanished.
