Daniel Batten, a well-known environmental researcher and investor, proved that Bitcoin mining leverages 52.6% sustainable energy sources (solar, wind, hydropower, etc.), not 37.6%, as claimed by Cambridge scientists.
How did such a disparity in numbers emerge? As a matter of fact, traditional studies ignore:

  • cloud mining;
  • flare-gas mining;
  • off-grid mining;
  • shift of miners to less expensive renewable energy sources.

This leads Batten to the conclusion that there are no barriers to the institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies.

Checkmate, global warming witnesses!
