The way electricity in our grids is produced and distributed is currently very centralized. This will likely evolve. Solar panels and batteries are both trending down in price and over time, more single family housing will have these types of systems installed - making the production of electricity much more decentralized. From this perspective, it would be a perfectly natural evolution to see small scale BTC miners becoming a default part of many HVAC systems. Miners would have lots of benefits for consumers, both by utilizing excess heat into the heating systems but also with utilizing the daily surplus solar energy which could be monetized more efficiently than today. It would also lessen the need to invest lots of money in batteries, since you could simply buy cheap electricity from the grid during the night and mine bitcoin with surplus electricity during the day.
