Currently, 57% of the energy used for crypto mining comes from renewable sources (hydro, wind, solar, nuclear, geothermal and carbon generation with carbon offsets as defined by the Bitcoin Mining Council Q3 2021 Report).
Just half a decade ago, crypto’s impact on the world’s energy grids was negligible. But in the past five years, Bitcoin’s energy consumption has grown from 11.8 to 120.5 TWh per year; the equivalent of adding 2,400 wind turbines to the grid every year. For context, the United States has installed an average of around 3,000 wind turbines a year, according to the USGS. And this could continue to rise rapidly: NYDIG, a Bitcoin financial services company, estimates that electricity consumption from Bitcoin mining could grow to 706 TWh by 2027.

just some examples
as for solutions
we should look into nuclear power but
people are ok with having this near their town https://outsider.com/outdoors/man-spends-his-days-warding-off-birds-toxic-lake-coolest-american-jobs/
but nobody wants a nuclear plant near their town which would solve the energy crisis.
well moderators removed your post so I guess you couldn't follow rule 2
and at this point your definition of whataboutism is so broad that you are using it as a literal tool for self gain. then immediately after you try to call me out for not following your rules of arbitration you have the audacity to double down and mention an article the same as me.
do you see the irony? probably not because that would be more whataboutism..
