I think that when renewable energy will be widely used even to mine Bitcoin. People will be more calm and optimistic about Bitcoin. While it is being mined consuming so much dirty energy that pollutes our environment, there are a lot of people and organisation that are against crypto, but I think that it will become greener soon and people will change thier tune.
I can't blame the government as they are also fair in using energy and not sacrificing the needs of others while giving prioritizing the mining industry. It was now the battling issue where to find another source of energy that could sustain the needs of this mining industry. Strict implementation of the rules makes to stop illegal mining activities and that it saves some energy as well. I think they are doing right and it wasn't mean they are trying to stop but instead, they'll find a way to become sustaining.
Energy generation is a big issue around the globe. Recently some countries faced the worst situation when there happened shortage of coal. In my country the coal accumulation was able to meet two days power generation, but somehow things got managed and now back to normal functioning. Same kind of power deficiency will be there. So, governments focusing on proper power management will disturb mining. But, through sustainable energy development things can be done in an efficient manner.
Thousands of gamers and advertisement companies are wasting energy just for their own entertainment,
In a family where one car is enough, but most of the rich families are using a separate private car for each member of the family, So, where is your concern here!!
No one has a headache with global warming, no one has a headache with deforestation, no one has a headache with the greenhouse effect being affected day by day by the extreme use of CFC gas.
I find it very interesting and strange that nature lover people are concerned about just Bitcoin mining!!
