The Bitcoin has always been the villain when it comes to energy consumption, right? Those crazy computers running 24/7, burning electricity to validate transactions and keep the blockchain running. But unlike cannabis, crypto mining is increasingly shifting towards renewable energy sources, like hydro and geothermal power.
If growing weed is using more energy than Bitcoin, shouldn’t people be complaining about that too? The difference is that mining can be done anywhere in the world, while cannabis still faces a bunch of legal barriers that force producers to stick to this unsustainable indoor model.
