It's absolutely hilarious to see these arguments made on HN, I don't actually hold much faith in online discourse and clearly the propaganda (by the BBC et al) has _really_ worked.
Yet what about the websites that load over 10MB of JS/other tracking scripts? Globally it probably uses more energy than entire continents! Or at the very least uses 5-10% of battery life that could otherwise be saved.
Let's start by banning > 1MB of tracking related JS/adverts which do far, far, far more damage than Bitcoin.
Sauce: Use a simple web browser on mobile, one with adblock/tracking block and one without, see how fast the device with no adblock reaches 0%, I bet it doesn't take much time at all on the really heavy JS pages.
