Doesn't matter, really. Bitcoin is secured by waste. Maybe the money is burned in coal-fired power plants, maybe it's burned buying "mining" equipment, maybe it's burned building wind turbines. All of those things are polluting and all of them use manpower and natural resources.

If Bitcoin transitions to 100% renewable energy, then it will just use more of it to achieve the same amount of money-burning. The economics stay the same.
