Spoke with North American Bitcoin miners. They committed to publish current & planned renewable usage & to ask miners WW to do so. Potentially promising.

The statement follows Tesla's announcement about halting payments in BTC on May 12. The controversial decision opened the debate about energy consumption in the space and affected the markets.
The CEO of SpaceX also asked his followers to help support the Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE), submitting ideas on GitHub and Reddit.
Someone suggested changing Dogecoin fees based on phases of the moon, which is pretty awesome haha
