the rampant fraud (which i totally agree with) has NOTHING to do with consuming energy. The fraud comes from venture capitalists and marketers drumming up hype for something they've already given themselves the majority of so they can dump when the hype reaches critical height. Has nothing to do with energy, proof of work, block chain, etc. it is just a flat out scam. 99.9% of it.
