Shouldn't we concentrate our efforts on using clean renewable energy, rather than restrict our use of it?
Miners already use renewable resources: hydro, wind and solar, from big to small mining farms. I agree that this environmental friendly mining is not popular and big enough but why so serious?
If coal supply is here, on this planet, people will use it for many use cases, from mining to other activities in society. The same source of coal will be used, burnt without Bitcoin mining.
When the supply of coal is less and the technology for renewable resources become more popular, feasible, people exclusively miners will use it more. Mining farms if possible can set up mix energy supply from coal and renewable resources for day and night time.
agree with this one. so many people know about renewable resources, and they already use it. not only in big town, sometime, you will see as many as you can in a small town because lack of development. and volunteer will do it with no any cost.
its true if people use coal or same thing for their energy since long time ago, and it will be happen until we run out stock.
