Re:Ethereum will use around 99.95% less energy post merge by savant_penguin on Tuesday May 18, 2021 @12:13PM (#27196758)
Sure, ban away all PoW crypto, but don't you dare touch my YouTube cat videos and Netflix series ! (that likely use a TON of bandwidth)

Jokes aside it's really hard to decide what's reasonable energy usage from waste. Ultimately the real question is who gets to make that decision.

And overall, the idea of government getting to decide what are acceptable uses of energy and what isn't is actually terrifying
