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?
If done using coal or something like that of course it's part of the problem. At the same time let's not forget that many big cities, especially in Asia, have been dealing with serious pollution problems for tens of years, it's nothing new and sadly things got even worse because now there are more people than ever, and more people means more pollution.
