Energy hunger ahead: latest forecasts show data center power consumption could skyrocket nearly 300% by 2035. This surge ties directly to AI expansion and blockchain infrastructure scaling—proof-of-work mining operations and validator nodes aren't getting any lighter on the grid. As crypto networks mature and institutional adoption grows, expect energy debates to intensify around sustainable mining practices and green data center solutions.

300%? Damn, that number is a bit scary. PoW miners are probably going to get criticized again.

300%? This number is a bit scary... PoW Mining is indeed a large consumer of electricity, no wonder green Computing Power is so popular now.

ngl the grid's gonna buckle before we see real green mining solutions... institutional money doesn't care about watts, only returns. reading between the lines here—300% is just the opening act 🔍

300% rise... Speaking of which, if PoS is fully rolled out, it could alleviate a lot, right? It feels like green Computing Power is the future.

300%? Damn, this number sounds ridiculous, those PoW guys really need to think of a solution.

300%? This number is outrageous, but think about how the Bitcoin miners have been messing around... Green mining has been talked about for so many years and still feels like a scam.

300%? Laughing to death, how many Three Gorges Dam will it take then... PoW Mining should have switched to green energy a long time ago.
