Reply to comment by ItsAConspiracy in Ethereum’s energy switch saves as much electricity as entire Ireland uses | The success of The Merge concept may now serve as a roadmap to enable a switch from Proof of Work to Proof of Stake in Bitcoin. by chrisdh79
False, miners do not control bitcoin. That is the whole point. Ofc you are playing a semantic trick by saying Big miners, but what you really mean is a 51% attack, which requires in practise an even larger percentage to maintain the longest chain (about 70% hashpower), so that is not going to happen.

No once the subsidies end the project simply stops, like almost all hydrogen projects.
It is too much wishful thinking by activists and naieve politicians who give taxmoney to companies.

Not true. Hydrogen is not a energy source. It is for energy storage (like a battery). You clearly have no idea what hydrogen is, or even know that it is made using mostly oil and gas.

Lolno. Hydrogen is created using natural gas. And it is losing 60% of its energy in the process. That is why oil companies like Shell are involved, it increases their demand (and it is subsidized)

Reply to Big Tech is laying staff off, but climate tech is hiring by berlinparisexpress
Climate tech is mostly nonsense though; they are mostly energy brokers and consumer analytics. I even doubt that climate tech even exist. Solarpanels and batteries are made in China so that cant be it.
