The FUD around Bitcoin’s energy consumption is huge. Not the energy consumption itself mind you, the propaganda. It’s been used by fiat supporters as a soundbite to attack bitcoin itself, while ignoring the facts and the real numbers. I found this twitter thread by MICROCHAD where he linked a few resources on the matter.
