Title: Max Keiser has Elon Musk as a negative influence on the worlds energy Post by: Powerloader on May 18, 2021, 03:12:47 PM Some interesting comments here by Max...Im inclined to agree with him...I think Elon's immense wealth means he doesnt really have to understand Bitcoin to 'Play' with it...https://youtu.be/tPZIKDzvxb8

I wonder how far he can go with his shilled shitcoin. He's not the one that could bring adoption to crypto with his nature of manipulations.
Title: Re: Max Keiser has Elon Musk as a negative influence on the worlds energy Post by: Hydrogen on May 18, 2021, 10:43:06 PM The problem with the climate change debate is the largest offenders of fossil fuel emissions are never mentioned.
The USA is actually one of the cleanest nations in the world. The segment of the US that produces fossil fuel based pollution is its military. Bitcoin isn't a major offender. The majority of POW mining is powered by renewable energy. Which in turn helps fund more renewable energy projects around the world. The #1 source of coal power in the world isn't bitcoin or the USA. Its a thing the media and experts never mention. Which is suspect behavior IMO. A case could be made for Elon Musk doing more to reduce dependance on fossil fuel based energy than anyone in the world. His push for EVs has greatly decreased carbon emissions around the world. Which makes it interesting that someone like Max Keiser would try to illustrate Elon Musk as someone who is "destroying" the environment.

If every car in the U.S. is replaced by a Tesla, then electric cars would be responsible the the consumption of 550 TWh/year. That more than the entire country of Germany uses! Obviously, we need to ban electric cars!

And now for real: why don't everybody target those producing and selling energy that's not green? Are you afraid that you'll get to pay more for it?

Don't forget to mention Lithium batteries that Tesla and all other electric cars use, and they spend much more energy for their production, not to mention amount of notorious CO2 they create.If every car in the U.S. is replaced by a Tesla, then electric cars would be responsible the the consumption of 550 TWh/year. That more than the country of Germany uses! Obviously, we need to ban electric cars! Big parts of those batteries are coming from China that produces 80% of all batteries in the world, so think again if batteries are so eco friendly like some people are saying. So let's shut down everything: Google, Amazon, maybe the whole internet. Yeah, let's also shut down all electronic devices in our homes because they all combined spend way more electricity than Bitcoin, and we can than all get back to stone ages, live in the caves and blame Bitcoin for everything :Dhttps://i.imgur.com/gq0kPkm.jpg |
