So you're saying letting people from Niger immigrate to the USA is the worst possible thing for the environment?

The USA is basically set up to grind natural resources (and people) into money without concern for anything else so that's one way to look at it.

Bitcoin is closer to a deity for which people sacrifice their electricity as an offering. Meanwhile Americans are merely fulfilling their selfish desires. Bitcoin can work with 1 KW of power just as well as it can work with 1 TW of power.
