This is really environmental concern
Look at how the same people trying to ban this travel around and then think about this again.
However, I think that all Bitcoin users and miners shout be more aware of their impact om environment and try to find the way how to contribute to its protection.
Mining is already economically incentivized to use the cheapest energy available, which is energy that wouldve went to waste. The block reward already subsidizes the building of renewable energy sources, that wouldnt have been possible otherwise, because of how the energy market works(power spikes). Its more than any of these politcians ever did. I think its a stretch to even buy 1% into this hysteria and say
BTC should do more, because its already greener relative to how countries generate their energy and just ignores real environmental concerns(where theyre silent about).
