I agree, but to be pedantic, the cost of storage may work out to be lower than the cost of energy to encode even in that use case.


That depends under what conditions the energy is used. In a place where you need extra energy for cooling yes. In my home no. I live in a cold place, so I need heating the bigger part of the year. And I heat using electricity (which might be stupid, but that's the house was built 30 years ago). So whatever energy my computer wastes, I save it in my heating bill. Computer energy is free, except during some warm summer weeks.
