    Not even remotely the same thing, But if you’re going to go down this path, notice how the transition to renewables has been blocked by…dependence on ICE/fossil fuels (more akin to PoW if we’re going to do this weird parallel) and by forces that profit off them.

    Perhaps you’re more right than either of us realize, but unfortunately it doesn’t reinforce your point.

      Your dislike of PoW is totally understandable.

      Bitcoin maxis who dismiss all other blockchains as Alts are very much like climate deniers. They illogically block improvements and efficiencies in the Bitcoin protocol (e.g. block size increases).

      However if enery usage is your main criticism then attacking PoS is like campaigning against wind or solar. We want PoS to completely replace PoW.
