Honestly the point is moot. The problem is the source of energy not the usage of the energy. Stop using fossil fuels and it wouldn't matter one bit. If anyone tries to push that fud just ask where their house gets electricity from, and show them cryptos that use POS and that should shut them up
Exactly, they try to blame the consumer so the eyes will be on the wrong direction and they know this because the moment that people starts to take notice, they will be suffering big losses because they can get obsolete really fast because there are billions of alternative energy source out there that uses less carbon or even carbon free, non invasive and much cheaper and the fossil fuel companies don't want that because they will suffer a lot from obsoletion.
