Depends. Is it solar energy that started production to power these models? Great! If not, then you're still consuming power and the difference will have to be made somewhere, likely by burning more fossil fuels.
Oh yeah, I mean my own personal solar modules in my backyard. I agree it's not that easy to say "solar exists, checkmate doubters", that would be silly.
OK, that is fine. I've seen a lot of people saying stuff like "Me mining crypto doesn't matter because I live next to a wind farm" so I'm a bit wary.
