Your comment doesn't really explain why the criticism isn't warranted. What does this have to do with how poor the current energy infrastructure is?

- DantesKite 5y agoI think they're warranted. I don't believe they're that warranted because I believe energy abundance will become more efficient over time. I don't believe it's a permanent problem, although obviously if the Bitcoin people can figure out a way to make it less power-hungry while still being secure, that's a win for everybody. So just to be clear. It's a criticism that I agree with, but I don't think it's as debilitating as a problem as most people believe.
