I just shared this with a German friend and he's curious about Bitcoin but turned off by the energy consumption.
does anyone know a good online resource on the energy consumption of Bitcoin?

Not sure this is highlighting energy consumption, both reports discuss the misguided exaggeration of hashing's effect on climate as well as talk about stranded energy/load balancing. https://medium.com/coinmonks/what-is-stranded-energy-why-it-matters-to-bitcoin-c9a9a43e4a04
bitcoin doesnt waste energy, it uses wasted energy
awesome! thank you
Ok, I agree with you. How would you push-back if someone asks why bitcoin miners in China a few years ago were causing more coal-burning to occur.
I know this was the past, and everyone should be free to use energy as they please. However, burning coal really just seems like bad idea. What if this starts to happen again in the next price cycle?
these are awesome , thank you
no worries
