I feel like everyone involved in a massive fossil fuel plant for bitcoin should be hanged for crimes against humanity.

It’s saying it’s going to be carbon net Zero through carbon utilization. For me it’s too ambiguous to blindly trust it’s not going to be harmful to the environment… I wonder if someone smarter can chime in.

I feel like even if it somehow was carbon net zero, which I doubt, the opportunity cost is huge. That energy could have been used for something useful instead, and still been carbon neutral.
