This is not good from energy mix perspective. The region of Sichuan was using energy from Hydroelectric (renewable). This will mostly move to dirty energy sources.
Coal represents around half of Kazakhstan's energy mix (50% in 2018), followed by oil and natural gas (both with 25% shares).

yeah coal is bad and if this happen and papa "elon" know it they will not start accepting bitcoin as payment again  Cry
