This is factually incorrect. Increased hashes does not equal increased electricity consumption. Electricity consumption has actually gone down. https://www.ccn.com/bitcoin-mining-key-stat-exposes-ridiculous-energy-consumption-fud/ https://beincrypto.com/bitcoin-mining-energy-efficiency-improving-despite-fud/

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1664307621766086662

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
