According to CoinMeta, it was revealed on the eif forum that Bitcoin consumes 190 TWh of electricity per year, resulting in approximately 48 million tons of carbon emissions. Mining has a high fault tolerance and can generate revenue through demand responses by shutting down machines, whereas AI requires “firm power” along with strict service level agreements (SLA). The optimal approach is to use distributed computing and small to medium-sized data centers, prioritizing electricity from wind and solar power sources with quotas. The success or failure will depend on community involvement and regulatory support. The forum emphasized the importance of local classification, transparent communication, and local acceptance to avoid empty talk.
