If Bitcoin miners are paying for or producing the electricity themselves, what's the problem? But that's not really the point though is it? Electricity use is not the problem. Carbon emissions are. If renewables are competitive with fossil fuels (hint: they are), and profit-driven Bitcoin miners are incentivized to seek out the cheapest sources of energy, then Bitcoin mining should be one of the "greenest" industries on the planet. Guess what? It already is greener than many other industries, with close to 60% of it's energy coming from renewable sources AND on top of that there are lots of operations popping up to capture and burn flared gas (i.e. methane, which is a far worse GHG than CO2). https://medium.com/@magusperivallon/a-financial-hail-mary-for-the-climate-an-argument-for-bitcoin-adoption-1a695b668529 https://medium.com/@magusperivallon/a-financial-hail-mary-fo...
