renewable-energy
Energy that is collected from renewable resources that are naturally replenished on a human timescale, such as sunlight, wind, and geothermal heat.
Renewable energy is essential for making technology sustainable. In the blockchain industry, there is a major push to power mining and data processing using green energy. This not only reduces the carbon footprint but often provides cheaper electricity for network operators long-term.
