"if all Bitcoin mining used renewable energy sources" I don't know if you've looked at the requirements for covering our current energy sinks with renewable energy sources, but it's not looking manageable in the timeline we need to prevent climate change before we account for adding a random extra energy sink of bitcoin mining. Which, has frequently required peaker plants to cover the extra energy usage. This statement waves away all of the difficulty of accounting for how much solar/wind we would need to account for bitcoin mining on top of what we need for everything else. It's impractical, especially for something as societally useless as bitcoin mining.
