thank you for asking. it sounds like it would be, right? less energy usage, yay! however, that's not the case. the simple answer is that anyone with money can then make the rules by staking their funds. it's recreating all of the problems that we currently have with the financial system. and remember, just because something uses energy doesn't mean it's bad. bitcoin mining in the USA uses less energy than electric washers and refrigerators. we aren't going back to washboards and ice blocks any time soon.
