Energy consumption seems to be the number 1 complaint from crypto skeptics. The Ethereum team knows this, and has been working for years on a network upgrade happening in 2022, reducing consumption by ~894x Under maximum load, Ethereum will use 0.1% of the energy Visa consumes!
As for the current energy consumption, It's definitely not great (Ethereum uses around the same energy as the country of Finland every year), but it still represents a massive improvement from Bitcoin's consumption (which it falsely attributed to Ethereum sometimes) https://t.co/z61DFOMjXD
All this stats are coming directly from the official Ethereum documentation! They're also open-source, and they invite anyone who disagrees on their calculations to submit a PR correcting them 😁 https://t.co/MAc9OB2FaV
