Energy usage is a recognised issue and while it offers challenges they are understood and developers are keen to address this. If you want to start deconstruction of the industrial military complex that would be just fine and might really start to change things, until then I argue there are more worthy targets for your ire than the energy use of an emerging technology.

- jonfw 6y agoThis is like saying that pollution is a recognized issue with fossil fuels and while it offers challenges they are understood and engineers are keen to address this. There aren't always easy solutions and you can't hand wave aside a massive problem because 'our best people are on it'

- jonfw 6y agoCosts (of EVs) are passed onto the consumer and thus self-regulate, whereas many of the costs of crypto's wasteful energy usage are distributed among society.
- tudorw 6y agoIf fossil fuels producers had had the same level of awareness of environmental issues when that industry began we might not have the issues we have now, I think it's a poor comparison, my comment was acknowledging the issue and positing that an iteration of the technology could mitigate the problem.
