Something on the lines of if your company facility is using over X amount of energy the majority of that has to be from a green source such as solar power. What would happen and is this feasible or am I totally thinking about this wrong

Then miners would siphon off renewable energy and other more polluting sources would be used to power the remainder.

They’re not gonna build more green power supply just to help out crypto miners.

They would if we cut them off from the grid. All Bitcoin does now is raise electricity bills. Let them build solar farms and buy batteries if they insist on mining something useless to 99% of humanity.

You think these clowns are going to build anything? They’re just leeches trying to make money by doing nothing other than letting computers run.
