AI data centers, Bitcoin mining centers - summary of pollution

quoting
note10cm…a09c

so I googled it, and found that bitcoin mining does also produce PM 2.5, like AI data centers.

75.4% of bitcoin mines are in the U.S.

52.4% of energy used in 2024 to mine Bitcoin was sustainable (hydropower, wind, nuclear energy)

so 47.6% of energy used in 2024 to mine Bitcoin created pollution.

Which is still a lot.
