I agree with you here. I don't love PoW but I also see issues with PoS.

I am a single computer miner but I only ever turn on my miner if I am net exporting back to the grid (solar).

Main reason here is that the money I get from the grid is ~25% what I pay on the way down and through mining its anywhere from 500-1200% for the amount of energy I am using.

If my energy company paid me more or there was infrastructure for me to sell my excess to my neighbours (such things exists in the world) then that would be appealing to me.
