It’s time to get rid of it.

Even if it was 100% powered by renewables; wasting such a limited resource on generating useless random numbers is unsustainable regardless. It also would’t address other externalities such as electronic waste, water waste and noise pollution. https://twitter.com/cleanupbitcoin/status/1599106946031931395
