While I agree, I don't think this should be a fair primary reason. Unless you also feel the same about everything else that consumes more electricity than it could.
There wouldn't be a concern if all energy was green for example, that should be where the energy hostility should be pointed. Trying to complain about the blockchain and its useage on power is an XY problem for me.

- bilekas 5y agoThank you for saying what we're all thinking. The above highlights my point in a sense.
- disruptalot 5y agoConsuming energy is a requirement for it to provide its stated benefits. If you're able to conjure the protocol which doesn't require PoW and still maintains the characteristics, you would be welcomed with open arms.
