The "8% of total electricity" claim is factually incorrect. Bitcoin uses ~145 TWh per year, including renewables, which is 0.49% of total electricity. https://ccaf.io/cbnsi/cbeci https://ourworldindata.org/electricity-mix Also, Ethereum and many other cryptos use Proof Of Stake now, which doesn’t require energy intensive hardware mining. https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/blockchain/articles/10.3389/fbloc.2023.1151724/full

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/1838646493118632340
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.
