Surprised that there hasn't been a mention of how the merge to Ethereum 2.0, PoS will reduce energy consumption by 99%.
A great background article going into some of the details here

- dastx 6y agoI suppose the issue in this scenario isn't necessarily energy, but that it's miners are at odds with Ethereum devs to the point where they're willing to attack the network itself. Either way, I'm all for PoS because of the reduced energy consumption, and if it puts a middle finger in the face of the miners, who are partially to blame for shortages of consoles and GPUs, then I'm even more for it.
