It's equal cost if you generate the heat with your computer.<br/><br/>If you have other cheaper heating than electric, then the waste is only the difference in cost.<br/><br/>If it's summer and you're using A/C, then it's twice.<br/><br/>Bitcoin generation should end up where it's cheapest. Maybe that will be in cold climates where there's electric heat, where it would be essentially free.</div>"
