Bitcoin Mining Will Soon Shift To Using Mostly Renewable Energy, According to New Study

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports on a new study predicting that Bitcoin mining will rely on 70% renewable energy within five years. Given Bitcoin’s massive electricity consumption, this shift from coal-fired power to solar and wind could significantly reduce its carbon footprint. With AI server farms and air conditioning also contributing to rising energy demand, this transition would be a major win for sustainability efforts, aligning cryptocurrency with cleaner energy solutions.
