people don't realize we will soon be able to harvest the heat from PoW into renewable energy. Research is being done on thermoelectric materials. Yelling about the environmental impact is a cop out, no technology started out its life as performant, sustainable and carbon neutral.
- kevingadd 6y agoA future where the environmental impact of PoW is minimized sounds like a great future. That future does nothing to slow the ongoing climate crisis today and it does nothing for the vulnerable people in coastal areas, hot climates, etc tomorrow. If we were talking about 'NFTs once PoW is not environmentally hazardous' that would be great, but we're talking about NFTs today.
