Original Note:
Bitcoin mining depends on energy expenditure. Over its entire history, bitcoin mining has caused the emission of 200,000,000 tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Each year’s consumption is equivalent to all diesel fuel used by railroads in the United States. https://www.newscientist.com/article/2339629-bitcoin-has-emitted-200-million-tonnes-of-co2-since-its-launch/ https://www.whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-updates/2022/09/08/fact-sheet-climate-and-energy-implications-of-crypto-assets-in-the-united-states/
