Bitcoin Mining in USA Causes as Much Pollution as 6 Million Cars
According to the information from multiple environmental groups, U.S. Bitcoin mining was responsible for causing three times more pollution than the country’s biggest coal plant. This points toward the potential long-term damages that would be caused to the environment in the future by mining Bitcoin.
Also, the Bitcoin miners have contributed to the prolonged life of the fossil fuel plants, pushed up electricity rates, strained power grids, and fallen severely short on promises of jobs-related benefits for the local community. The concern is that with the efforts to reduce the carbon footprint in all walks of life, Bitcoin mining could very well reverse that process with such levels of pollution. China already banned Bitcoin mining in 2021. This resulted in a whopping 27.4 million tonnes of emissions in the past year due to Bitcoin mining in the U.S.
