Local communities from Texas to New York to Indiana to Kentucky and beyond have all raised the alarm. Bitcoin mining is immensely dirty and harms local communities. It's time to listen to them.
This coal plant in Indiana will stay open, and it will be fueling Bitcoin mining. Hoosiers deserve better. wfyi.org/news/articles/…
Bitcoin is likely consuming 2200 GL of water in 2023. The traditional financial system (bank notes, bank branches, ATMs, cashless transactions) combined consumes close to 1800 GL of water a year. There's no good reason for this amount of waste. greenpeace.org/usa/unveiling-…
👏 There is no technical reason we can’t #CleanUpBitcoin and make almost all the electricity, water, emission, and e-waste problems disappear overnight. greenpeace.org/usa/unveiling-…
Wall Street giants have backed the expansion of #Bitcoin mining in rural Georgia. Residents have gotten noise pollution, environmental pollution, and unmet promises 👇 greenpeace.org/usa/research/p…
The total annual water footprint of US Bitcoin miners could be equivalent to 🏘️ 300,000 US households. 🤯 That's comparable to all of Washington, D.C. Wow. This is why we need banks and financial institutions to back the call to #CleanUpBitcoin. cell.com/cell-reports-s…
💡 If Bitcoin's code was changed, all the immense electricity waste and associated water use would disappear overnight.
🌎 We face the looming threat of a global water crisis, and are well into the middle of a global climate crisis. Bitcoin burns massive amounts of fossil fuels, polluting our air and draining massive amounts of water. Yes we need to #CleanUpBitcoin.
“all the electricity consumption, associated water consumption, that will just disappear overnight. You know, we can make it happen,” ✅ It’s VERY possible to #CleanUpBitcoin! theverge.com/2023/11/29/239…
The higher the price, the more incentive there is to ramp up Bitcoin mining. This is why we need to #CleanUpBitcoin and tackle the root cause: an immensely wasteful code.
The fact that a single Bitcoin transaction can use up a whole swimming pool of water tells you all you need to know about its impact on our water system.
A pollution-spewing coal plant scheduled to shut down, now given new life to do #Bitcoin mining. This is terrible news for the people of Indiana, and why we need to value local communities over Bitcoin miner profits. Read this excellent write up: indystar.com/story/news/env…
“Local New Yorkers like Abi Buddington expressed concerns about the threat to the Finger Lakes region from plants like Greenidge Generation.” fingerlakes1.com/2023/12/01/new…
.@BlackRock and @vanguard fund CleanSpark's Georgia Bitcoin mining. We need accountability for the harms they're causing in rural communities. greenpeace.org/usa/research/p…
Total annual water footprint of US #Bitcoin miners could be equivalent to 300,000 US households, comparable to Washington, D.C. What happens when BTC price rises and more mining happens? Even MORE water waste.
The higher the price of Bitcoin, the more incentive there is to ramp up mining. More mining = more air pollution + water waste There is so much potential climate destruction that can be prevented if we #CleanUpBitcoin.
We face the threat of a looming global water crisis. Here is some crucial research on the water consumption of #Bitcoin 👇 cell.com/cell-reports-s…
The truth remains the same: the biggest beneficiaries of Bitcoin mines end up being mining companies’ executives, owners and investors who don’t live in the community. 🚩 Local residents are given pollution, strained infrastructure, and higher utility prices.
Yep. It’s time to #CleanUpBitcoin to save our climate. theverge.com/2023/11/29/239…
🌊 Every Bitcoin payment uses a swimming pool of water. Yes, you read that right. We can #CleanUpBitcoin to prevent this totally unnecessary waste and climate damage. bbc.com/news/technolog…

I’m glad you asked! A recent research quantified that the traditional financial system (bank notes + branches + ATMs + cashless transactions) consumes about 1800 GL of water per year. Bitcoin is not only consuming more in total; it also gets nowhere close in utility provided.
@DigiEconomist FFS - tell me @DigiEconomist - how much water does the global #fiat system use? Do remember to factor in the US #MilitaryComplex which backs US dollar!
NEW: Water shortages now affect more than 25% of people worldwide, and new research reveals that a shocking amount of this increasingly scarce resource is being consumed by... #Bitcoin 😒 Our @CleanUpBitcoin campaign lead @joshdarcher explains why it's time to #CleanUpBitcoin:
“I’d be booed off stage. They’d throw tomatoes at me.” Our @CleanUpBitcoin campaign lead @joshdarcher spoke at @SolanaConf #Breakpoint2023 about our work to stop #Bitcoin's growing carbon emissions. Bitcoin's most fervid supporters may not like it, but Bitcoin needs to change.
We’re SO proud to be supporting @CCofNavarro this week in their fight against #Bitcoin pollution here in Corsicana, TX where @RiotPlatforms is building the world’s largest Bitcoin “mine” in the world. Their message: don’t mess with Texas’ water and electricity! #CleanUpBitcoin
246 Texans died in winter 2021 when the fragile TX power grid failed and left millions freezing — Texans want to know why their electricity (& water) is now being wasted on #Bitcoin. Thank you to @PublicCitizenTX’s Adrian Shelley & University of Houston's @edhirs for joining us!
NEW: @BlackRock & @Vanguard_Group are bankrolling the company behind the fossil fuel generated #Bitcoin pollution boom in Texas, where @RiotPlatforms is building the largest Bitcoin mine in the world. Texans are suffering the consequences. greenpeace.org/usa/research/r…
Bitcoin is polluting our planet, and frontline climate activists like @CCofNavarro are fighting back to protect their communities from companies like @RiotPlatforms who are profiting from Bitcoin’s growing (and completely unnecessary) air, water, & noise pollution #CleanUpBitcoin
Targeting high water use, energy waste, and round-the-clock noise, skeptics are challenging #Bitcoin efforts in Navarro County and the state of #Texas, the author of ‘Let Them Eat Crypto’ writes. #blockchain #crypto #energy #climate @PeterJHowson deceleration.news/2023/10/11/tex…
Exploiting Texans turns out to be a better business model than mining Bitcoins. The value of the massive subsidies provided by ERCOT to Riot Platforms is equivalent to 511 Bitcoin for September (even more in Aug), while the company only managed to mine 362 BTC during the month.
Other real-world uses of #Bitcoin: 💡Increasing electricity bills! ☠️Spewing carbon pollution! ⛽️ Resurrecting shuttered fossil fuel plants! 🌊 Wasting and polluting water! 🔊 Unbearable noise pollution! The list of reasons to #CleanUpBitcoin goes on... greenpeace.org/usa/reports/in…
Someone's finally found a real world use-case for crypto-currency: NOT mining it.
#Bitcoin "miners" like @RiotPlatforms were ON THE GRID WHEN IT FAILED. They didn't "stabilize" or save it. Can we *please* stop with that nonsense already? Cryptominers are NOT a solution. They're a huge part of the problem. #proofofwaste #fixthegrid
In 2021, frozen gas infrastructure helped cause deadly blackouts that undercut the economy and killed hundreds. Texas is still in danger. #txlege #txenergy expressnews.com/business/artic…
@CleanUpBitcoin @greenpeaceusa YES!! THANK YOU!!
The #SkullOfSatoshi was at the March to #EndFossilFuels in NYC yesterday to remind everyone that Bitcoin + Coal = 💀 HUGE thank you to the hundreds of people who took photos with us and learned why Bitcoin is a roadblock in our fight to end fossil fuels! #CleanUpBitcoin
A one-megawatt crypto mine consumes more energy each day than 700 American homes. As of April 2023, 5 of the 10 largest Bitcoin mines were in Texas. Mining will raise energy prices for Texans, likely by over 30%. It's just not worth the cost. earthjustice.org/feature/crypto…
Texas, #proofofwaste #bitcoin miners are straight up laughing at us all the way to the bank.

@CleanUpBitcoin, @seneca_lake should be on your new list of local groups. ♥️✊️📣
NEW: @BlackRock claims to support “sustainability” and a transition to net zero carbon emissions, but they are increasingly responsible for the unsustainable growth of a major fossil fuel lifeline: #Bitcoin greenpeace.org/usa/blackrocks…
@zacguignard @CleanUpBitcoin I know a lot about the Texas grid & their absolutely correct. govtech.com/computing/bitc…
@CleanUpBitcoin THANK YOU! more folks need to understand the myriad ways in which this industry of sociopaths does whatever it takes to get what they want, regardless of the incredible harm left in its wake. #Bitcoin #crypto #proofofwaste #climate
