Sources are very well cited if you want to follow then through. I linked this and not the original source because it’s likely the source where root comment got this argument from.

It's the same one as crypto proof of work, it was super small and then hit 1% while predominantly using energy sources that couldn't even power other use cases due to the loss in transporting the energy to population centers (and the occasional restarted coal plant), while every other industry was exempt from the ire despite all using that 99%

Leaving the source to someone else
