I don't give a damn about what the premise is nor I give a damn about how much coal is burned or how many pink unicorns are enslaved to produce that energy.
What I debate is that what looks like being a no problem today, tomorrow might end up as a huge one and leaving the whole environment debate aside, we will have different problems as I explained before.

I'm not one of those eco nazis that think bicycling 2 km instead of driving a car will save the planet or that we will solve every problem with green energy, and I will not enter such debate.  

But the fact is that the consumption will grow! Unless bitcoin dies and I doubt anyone around here with a working brain cell thinks this!
And with consumption growth, you will see more and more people being against it, like it happened in Chelan, Mason and many others and we're going to see people proposing even more dumb ideas as bitcoin mining tax, we will see extra vat on mining gear on top of Trump's idiotic tariffs and much more.

Right now mining is flying under the radar, when it will be a too bigger business to be ignored, there will be ...consequences.
I am just stating the obvious from my point of view, if you think that this propaganda, well, good luck with it, it's your opinion and my prediction, but unfortunately only one will be right in the end.
