Is this all just cynical marketing talk to silence the conscience of environmental-aware investors, or does oversizing renewable energy production and using the excess for mining really makes some engineering sense? Or is this besides the point anyway, because Bitcoin mining will eventually self-regulate (halvings, fees) to reduce energy demand? Any critical thoughts/projections/publications beyond those occasional and seemingly rather one-sided/opinionated news articles very welcome!
