> Don't ever let any Bitcoin or NFT shills get away with lying to you that their cryptocurrencies and CryptoKitties and Digital Pet Rocks run on renewable energy.

Cryptokitties run on Ethereum and Ethereum is already partially using PoS. Now from day one people have said "PoW does not work" and yet PoW, so far, is still working. People are now saying "PoS does not work" and yet, so far, PoS is working.

The cryptocurrencies haters better come up with something else than the "energy" argument against cryptocurrencies because the shift to PoS is coming and it's coming fast.

If PoS comes, it'll be something to stop criticizing Ethereum over. It'll still be useful to criticize cryptocurrencies in general. See Bitcoin, Monero, etc.

Like they said, it's already here. The only thing that's left is to end PoW which will happen within the next ~5 months.
