Re:Ethereum will use around 99.95% less energy post merge by lend000 on Tuesday May 18, 2021 @12:48PM (#27197427)
This is an Orwellian take to want the government to tell you how you're allowed to use electricity. Is watching TV a waste of energy? How much energy goes into steaming Netflix?

If you want to target an externality of the free market, do it directly: simply tax emissions. This will guide the market towards greener energy generation and direct capital out of activities that produce emissions without generated value.
