Based on what I found about Youtube energy consumption, it's somewhere in the 6.38 - 100 TWh range [1] .
If most blockchains (perhaps excluding Bitcoin) moved to Proof Of Stake and cut their energy expedinture to cumulatively use less than 200000 MWh per year, would you consider using them?
AFAIK, Visa uses up to 205555 MWh per year.
