Although #Bitcoin's power consumption (Light green line) is climbing, this may be at a peak due to -

vast improvements in #ASIC efficiency

Market saturation.

The imminent Halving may also culling off some of the less efficient mining operations

​ Bitcoins net emissions (blue line) have reached a plateau & may even be on the wane due to mitigation such as -

Improvements in overall #Grid #carbon intensity

Mining with Methane

Home/ Business heating

demand response schemes taking advantage of cheap clean but intermittent renewables.

​ Other mitigating factors are #banking sector curtailment (red line) which may already make Bitcoins emissions net negative !
