Pretty Good Entropy
(Website Under construction)
Bringing energy waste to an end.
What's wrong with our energy?
We lose 2/3 of it each year…
Where?
Production, Transportation, Distribution
In fact, energy cannot be transported without leak, much like trying to transport water on a plate. Even if you don't lose a single drop, it will inevitably evaporate.
So what's the aim of PGE?
Missions
Eradicating energy poverty forever and ending power outages globally
Economically elevating local communities to benefit from their local energy source
Incentivizing individuals to learn about energy production and its safeguarding
How?
By coupling bitcoin with nature.
Magically enough, bitcoin is the key to unlocking climate action. By globalizing the energy digitally, bitcoin happens to commodify electricity and transport it across space and time for no cost at all.
