That's good point, i was wondering why they never release newer report. But other source such as
https://ccaf.io/cbnsi/cbeci/ghg shows gas emission instead and haven't updated chart which show type of energy source since January 2022.
Cambridge has stopped doing those because they admitted the data they were getting was inconsistent and flawed.
The mining Council which is basically the stock-listed miners and Foundry was doing that for PR, you can claim everything and you can portray yourself as a good guy to win investors until, well, consequences

It is very easy to manipulate these figures to help draw a certain conclusion; the reality is renewable energy is expensive and not highly available; when companies claim 90% green or renewable energy, they are just lying; maybe they got that figure of 1-day reading.
Hihi, I love the other narrative, we installed x MW of solar panels, that would rival our x MW of coal, forgetting the capacity =/ production.
Same BS that Germany is doing right now, showing the high percentage of "renewables" and forgetting about the 10%-15% of imports from good old nuclear power from France
Bitcoiners need to learn and understand that if unicorn farts will produce energy at 0.1 per kwh, we will see unicorn farting as the major source of electricity for farms, if it's going to be cheaper to burn holy books, then that will be.
Businesses will only care about the price, then they will try to greenwash it because investors are second in importance.
The entire worldwide BTC power consumption is about 20GW, and that assumes 30w/th, which is 100% more than the current most efficient gear.
20GW is roughly 175 TWh annually, which is less than 0.5% of the total power the world uses annually; it is a tiny fraction.
You know that this comparison is not right either.
I know I'm going to piss a lot of people on this but when you have 18 million people eating, going to work, playing, producing stuff, doing sex, watching tv, washing clothes and microwaving popcorn, averaging each year around the same GDP as the BTC market cap and still consume less than a system that supports 400k transactions a day it's not really a fair comparison.
But, halvings are going to solve this problem, with nobody eager to increase block size the reward will slowly go to levels where the consumption won't be able to grow anymore.
