I guest Bitcoin miners may need to use solar power if they want to mine a lot of Bitcoin without using up too much electricity from their power company.

True, a more natural power source would be needed to mine bitcoin.

I think some dirtier countries may use coal and other dirty power sources to mine Bitcoin before coal is banned because of how dirty coal is.

I looked it up, it would take about 8.5 billion pounds of coal to mine one bit coin, it can't be done.

That is a lot of coal. Hopefully, there aren't any countries who try to use a lot of coal to try to mine 1 Bitcoin.

I don't think there is that much in the world or be allowed to use so much at first.

I imagine a lot of countries would complain if a country uses too much coal to generate electricity because of the pollution from burning coal.
