Near the start of the era when Bitcoin mining needed to be done by rigs the size of data centers, the usual purveyors of FUD presente stories and news segments about how energy-intensive Bitcoin mining had become.

At the time, this was true.

Since then, they's stuck with that mantra about PoW being hostile to the environment.

While PoW is still energy-intensive and the mining rigs have become larger and even more complex, no one in FUD-Land dares to acknowledge that energy consumption by these PoW systems has either maintained that level or decreased it.

They seem to have forgotten that necessity if the mother of all inventions, and there was a need for Bitcoin and other PoW mining rigs to reduce their energy usage.
