TADEAS: tak jako je tam samozřejmě aspekt "když to nevyrobíme my, vyrobí to Čína pomocí uhelné energie a udělá toho 10x tolik". Podle mě "kapitáni průmyslu" už neexistují, jakkoliv Elon se snaží to divadlo hrát dobře. Existují obchodníci s akciemi, v podstatě gambleři (podstrč jim crypto a nepoznaj rozdíl, vzácnost jako vzácnost...). Existují korporátní manažeři. Existují inženýři, kteří když chtějí fakt něco realizovat, musí být zaměstnaní v korporacích. Je to obrovský groupthink, nějaká představa kapitalistů z Dikobrazu, co nosí cylindry a kouří doutníky, je prostě fantazie, projekce...

Ethereum’s “Merge” is about to put every ether miner out of work | Ars Technica
https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2022/08/the-merge-the-biggest-change-in-ethereum-history-explained/

Digiconomist estimates that Ethereum miners currently consume 44.49 TWh per year which works out to 5.13 gigawatt on a continuing basis. This means that PoS is ~2000x more energy efficient based on the conservative estimates above, which reflects a reduction of at least 99.95% in total energy use.

...

Recent estimates suggest that will happen sometime between around September 15 and September 19, but the exact date depends on how much computing power miners bring to bear over the next month.

Norway has supported Sweden in proposing measures against mining Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. The reason for the growing concern is serious environmental degradation, which could turn into a catastrophe if energy consumption is not controlled.

...

For many crypto miners, Norway has become a true paradise. The local authorities actively use renewable energy sources and charge a reasonable fee for electricity. A huge number of hydroelectric power plants have been put into operation in the country.

Sweden calls for crypto mining ban to protect the climate

The renewable drive
In the letter, Swedish government directors said crypto-producers are now turning their attention to Nordic countries, as taxes for mining-related activities are favorable and there’s good access to cheaper renewable energy. In Sweden, electricity consumption for Bitcoin mining now accounts to 1 TWh annually, which equals to electricity 200,000 Swedish households.

Bill Gates Sounds Alarm On Bitcoin's Energy Consumption–Here's Why Crypto Is Bad For Climate Change
https://www.forbes.com/...ciano/2021/03/09/bill-gates-bitcoin-crypto-climate-change/?sh=427574206822

"Bitcoin uses more electricity per transaction than any other method known to mankind,” Gates told the New York Times in a recent interview, calling himself a "bitcoin skeptic," and adding that "it’s not a great climate thing.”

To Gates' point, Alex de Vries, a data scientist at the Dutch Central Bank, estimates that each bitcoin transaction requires an average 300 kg of carbon dioxide (CO2)–equivalent to the carbon footprint produced by roughly 750,000 Visa swipes.
