... And one of the greatest natural subsidies for renewable energy we could've asked for.  

Today we hit a piece by Daniel Wingen.

Not only is Bitcoin's energy consumption not a problem, it could be exactly what we need for a brighter future.

Check out the full article and many links to other great works. A number of great charts and tables illustrating the argument to explore as well:
