Mining
Crypto Mining uses 100 TWh a year. That is the same amount of power as the country of Netherlands uses in a year.
60% of crypto mining uses some sort of hydro power mining, followed by 25% using natural gas and coal.
With water levels dropping all over the world and coal and natural gas contributing to green house gases, the only energy future for crypto mining is wind and solar.

Kazakhstan’s Crypto Miners Face New Regulations After Contributing to Power Shortages
Kazakhstan’s energy grid is coming apart at the seams because of the massive influx of bitcoin miners. But tha
In our view, the concerns around Bitcoin’s energy consumption are misguided. Contrary to consensus thinking, we believe the impact of bitcoin mining could become a net positive to the environment … We illustrate that renewables would be able to satisfy only 40% of the grid’s needs in the absence of bitcoin mining but 99% with the commercial ‘subsidies’ associated with bitcoin mining.
Tesla has suspended vehicle purchases using bitcoin. We are concerned about rapidly increasing use of fossil fuels for bitcoin mining and transactions, especially coal, which has the worst emissions of any fuel. Cryptocurrency is a good idea on many levels and we believe it has a promising future, but this cannot come at great cost to the environment.
As with every other energy-consuming industry, it’s up to the crypto community to acknowledge and address these environmental concerns, work in good faith to reduce Bitcoin’s carbon footprint, and ultimately demonstrate that the societal value Bitcoin provides is worth the resources needed to sustain it.
