## Quote — verbatim

> If you can actually train using distributed clusters, that means we can have distributed clusters in places that can have about a hundred kilowatt capacity. Now, how can we get a hundred kilowatt capacity? Solar... a 4,000 square foot roof can get you a hundred kilowatt capacity.

The bridge between his energy and decentralization theses: millions of small solar-fed nodes replacing coal-burning mega-centers, incentivized by a token share of inference revenue (00:28:40).
