Ha! Greece with 53 G*KW hour / year, compared to the top players like China with 6.3 T*KW hour / year or USA with 4 T*KW hour/year?? Even Australia is puny at 224 GW*KW hour / year, I'd say they *barely matter*.
No, Greece doesn't matter, and neither does crypto. Not for energy consumption nor carbon load. Math doesn't lie.
you misconceive everything, and cherry picking the energy consumption of Hong Kong that has less than half the per capita consumption of USA person.
the 7 million in Hong Kong don't matter because miniscule to global consumption too.
And those alarmist articles that google bring up are what i was referring to when when I talked about the stupid false articles that claimed bitcoin the power consumption of Denmark, they misunderstood the IEEE article. They are incorrect, bitcoin instead only using the power of a large city.
I have no crypto currency holdings, I think they are a scam and stupid.
BUT, they have no impact on global energy consumption, they don't matter. Math proves it.
The tech is there, we're not using it, instead using foolish alternatives. Nuclear has joined the ranks of coal as a foolish path. Even China has cut its 2030 target of 240 GWe of nuclear plant capacity in half to 120 or even 90 GWe, stalling new plant approvals for the last 2 years.
People should learn how much electrical power the world uses before thinking Etherium consumption is anything at all. Hint, it's not, it doesn't matter.
Or to be exact, it is 0.00007575757 of the global total. Yeah math and relative magnitude are hard, around here.
the energy taken by cryptocurrency is miniscule. Civilization uses 132,000 TW hours per year, yet Etherium is only using 10 TW hours per year. It doesn't matter. Neither does bitcoin, you believed the nonsense article run here that misunderstood an IEEE article, saying that someday Bitcoin would consume as much as Denmark at (then) rate of growth...even while also saying its energy consumption was like a large city at the time.
So get it through your skull, your banking firms use more energy than cryptocurrency. internet porn uses more. social media uses more. you know, those things you use, you hypocrite.
there is zero reason to believe any advanced ancient civilizations exist, especially since there are nonliving artifacts not needing any fossilization that *would* endure.
Would you care to hazard a guess how long these things would last:
a silicon based integrated circuit in a ceramic package
a fiber optic cable
a gold tooth or a porcelain crown
The windshield of a car
titanium alloy aircraft and rocket bodies
aluminum engine blocks
corpses preserved with formaldehyde
this stuff is all over the world... where is the "stuff" from 400,000 years ago?
Don't worry, title is wrong. only *unprofitable* mines being stopped. Europe will still get 30-40 percent its electricity from coal like the rest of the world.
So yes, coal and coke still needed and will be used as before. not even newsworthy really if you care about carbon pollution, that will continue....
hahaha, no. Step out of your mom's basement and get real job before commenting. The main tools business uses are windows only. The major market share of CADD software (AutoCAD/Fusion360, SolidWorks, ProE/PTC Creo) are Windows only. Even big the enterprise Unix financial systems require a Windows Desktop or work cannot be done.
False. You'll notice the "platinum" "gold" and "silver" lists of things that run without problem on wine are games. Meanwhile, adults needing to make money for a living will find their wares will have problems.
I'm really doubting the pothead has the drive, motivation and self-discipline to grow and then harvest seed from industrial hemp plant.
Especially when the industrial hemp makes pollen that will ruin his high-THC potted MJ plants.
Hey, that's a good idea. What would be hilarious is some people diffusing industrial hemp pollen into the air around the weed growers. Because they don't want to share the road or a workplace with a bunch of potheads.... lolz
I'd rather say until the Sun goes out... it could be used to power everything. The Sun puts more energy on the Earth than a thousand civilizations could use. We already know how to convert it to electricity and panel efficiency is now high, we know how to store it for later, we know how to distribute electricity for 1500 miles with UHVDC lines
Clean fusion power, there for the taking. Stop with these other distractions.
sure we will, we have nice expensive firearms and the best ammo to put them down, and for those that survive a big prison system that makes them into cash cows
there is no shortage of hydrogen on earth or anywhere else, nuclear thermal does best spewing that out the exhaust pipe.
napkin calculations indeed, orbital mechanics are the specialty of my physics degree.
Manned missions to interplanetary distances can't use chemical, too slow, can't be taking years to transit. That's what the napkin reveals, that you are ignorant of math and orbital mechanics.
Slashdot Mirror
yes but that's still about a decade off.
you can see some autonomous mining trucks and drills out there, but it's not huge. And no mass produced thing that does work of human miner

I understand relative orders of magnitude very well. crypto currency doesn't matter. You must be math challenged.
you misconceive everything, and cherry picking the energy consumption of Hong Kong that has less than half the per capita consumption of USA person.

they are doing nothing that matters
I agree cryptocoins are stupid, by the way, for other reasons.
but energy consumption / environmental impact isn't one of them
the gay porn you jack off to does more harm

we don't need nuclear power now, the tech has evolved enough for smarter alternatives.

for the next 50 years that will be true, that more than 30 percent of electrical power will come from coal.
China is building new coal power plants the world over, and they are the ones driving carbon pollution, what the USA does won't matter.
False. You'll notice the "platinum" "gold" and "silver" lists of things that run without problem on wine are games. Meanwhile, adults needing to make money for a living will find their wares will have problems.
Wine is not for the professional
while posting on forum, you're totally traceable. lolz
government can build profile on your pathetic ass if it wants, you've been in "the system" system birth. remember to file for your tax refund, luddy.

so the model airplane I had as kid could go a lot faster than these stupid things making it more dangerous.
yeah, let's all panic over this toy flying from a bridge tower
What dumb-ass wrote this summary, 40 percent of the world's electricity comes from coal. And in India and China, it's 70 percent.
Coal baby, powering your planet.
40 percent of the world's electricity comes from coal. King Coal is not going away any time soon.
You can buy hemp seeds legally, a 20 lbs or 100 lbs bag if you want. There is no ban on you buying or eating hemp seeds.
pothead spotted

you are so funny
you already have a "digital footprint", credit card or not.
you have no autonomy, you are subject
and remember to pay your income tax
Doubtful, those Fortran libraries are called and used from many other languages.... no need to rewrite them
sure we will, we have nice expensive firearms and the best ammo to put them down, and for those that survive a big prison system that makes them into cash cows
