Ah, no. The Bidenists and SJW types are not referring to oil when they say that cryptocurrencies and blockchain systems are “bad for the environment.” They don’t think that far ahead.

They are literally complaining about the increased electricity consumption of computers/servers that are dealing with crypto and blockchain - those require much greater CPU activity than normal.

However, it’s not a significant problem in reality - not compared to their desire to overload the grid with electric cars.

You might be off.

It’s not power, it’s bandwidth.

Consider Musk’s Starlink with 100 x the bandwidth of AT&T, Verizon.

And Musk’s Starlink is ready to go now, but in North America, it’s been banned to rural backwaters.

But he can turn it on from his satellite network with practically a flip of a switch.

Oil = Petro-Dollar
Petro-Dollar = Oil

To Biden and globalist cabal, “environment” is codespeak for Oil = Petro-Dollar.

Crypto threatens Petro-Dollar.

As Obarfo would say, “Easy - Peasy”
