Something on the lines of if your company facility is using over X amount of energy the majority of that has to be from a green source such as solar power. What would happen and is this feasible or am I totally thinking about this wrong

    No, but crypto miners could fund a boom in green energy industry if they bought their own panels, wind turbines, battery banks, etc.

      They could. But they won’t.

      You think a bunch of people Mining crypto for greed are gonna altruistically buy green energy?

        Not altruistically, but if laws were made and enforced to where green energy was the most financially rewarding way to power their mining rigs, they’d do it.
