  >Other bitcoin alternatives have been less successful at limiting their environmental footprint. Chia, a cryptocurrency that is built on a “proof of time and space” algorithm, has been accused of leading to shortages in hard drives and SSDs, a type of storage medium popular in fast computers. “Instead of just wasting electricity, Chia chews through SSDs at a fantastic rate and also has thoroughly wrecked the market for big HDs,” said David Gerard, a cryptocurrency expert. This part is at least disingenuous. The real movement away from PoW is in PoS coins but all they say is that it 'ha[s] been less successful' citing the worst that has come out and from a small project at that, and mentioning ETH's slow move to it as if there aren't other projects already using it.

  It's completely disingenuous to discuss this topic without taking into account the lightning network.
