Bitcoin is mostly mined using excess energy, or "cheap" energy, which improves the efficiency and costs of energy production, making it surprisingly "green".

Bitcoin requires less energy on a per-store-of-value basis than Gold and Silver.

Bitcoin requires less energy on a per-store-of-value basis than credit cards and the banking system in general.

Yet Bitcoin is frowned upon by environmentalists, as if Bitcoin was a company and they could use political power to shut it down.
