Bitcoin needs mining. Mining costs a whole lot of electricity. Electricity still mostly comes from fossil fuels.

Ergo, bitcoin isn't green.

Any thoughts about this?


Think with a broader perspective.  How much electricity is required to operate the Fed, investment and commercial banking system?

That's not really an argument (or, to broad a perspective for me to see clearly).
I kind of like Economic Argument 1 from the link, but it still means electricity companies make the most off of mining. Right?
