Indonesia, especially Jakarta is in a pollution emergency, Many say that this is caused by steam power plants where the fuel is coal. And, sadly I heard also on my social media local that this pollution is also caused by crypto-mining, I debated and rejected it opinion because crypto-mining in Indonesia is not much like other countries where their air is still clean today.

So what do you though, is crypto mining become a big problem of pollution?

When I read news about crypto mining polluting nature, I think there are many things they need to look at other than crypto mining. But since those who make these news do not report that big companies are killing nature, these news do not make much sense to me.

Big companies have been polluting clean water for years. The media doesn't report it. Now they come and say that Bitcoin mining pollutes nature. Meaningless.
