Amerikaanse wetgewers skeduleer verhoor om die energie-impak van Crypto te ondersoek
Wetgewers in die VSA gaan nog 'n kripto-verhoor hou met beide persoonlike en virtuele bywoning.
The House’s Energy and Commerce Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee planne to hold a hearing next week titled “Cleaning Up Cryptocurrency: The Energy Impacts of Blockchains.”
The topic of costly energy consumption has dogged Bitcoin (BTC) in the past year, with China kraak af on mining last July.
In September, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) aangehaal the need for regulation to counter crypto mining’s environmental impact.
Verduidelik die ESMA,
“Innovasie kan volhoubaarheid ondersteun deur inligtingsgapings in die omgewing, maatskaplike en korporatiewe bestuur aan te spreek deur groen finansiële tegnologie-oplossings, maar die omgewingskoste van een spesifieke innovasie – kripto -geldeenhede - styg die hoogte ...
This issue is becoming increasingly relevant with the soaring environmental costs of Bitcoin mining, which could consume as much energy as Italy and Saudi Arabia combined by 2024 if not contained. Die ramings verskil, maar hulle stem saam dat die koolstofvoetspoor van kripto -geldeenhede nog lank nie verwaarloosbaar is nie. “
Bitcoin supporters, however, have pushed back against the idea that BTC is environmentally unfriendly.
The New York Digital Investment Group (NYDIG) vrygestel a research report in the fall that concludes that the “overall prospects for the decarbonization of Bitcoin mining over the coming decades are quite promising.”
Volgens die verslag,
“Even in our most aggressive, high price, scenario, in which Bitcoin reaches $10 trillion by 2030, its emissions amount to only 0.9 percent of the world’s total, and its energy outlay is just 0.4 percent of the global total.
Many miners are increasingly focused on minimizing the carbon emissions associated with their activities by purchasing offsets, procuring renewable energy, favoring locations with renewable energy, and using otherwise wasted energy, such as curtailed hydropower and flared gas.
Over the longer term, the intensity of Bitcoin’s carbon emissions… will decline, as the development of renewables continues and countries strive to decarbonize their electricity grids.”
NYDIG is the Bitcoin arm of Stone Ridge, an alternative asset management firm valued at over $10 billion.
