Free Solar Energy Could Make Bitcoin Carbon Footprint Negligible <\/span><\/h2>\n

As concerns around global climate change grow, the original cryptocurrency is increasingly becoming a topic of much negativity \u2013 not just for its recent price movements, but also for its contributions to global carbon emissions.

Take Chile, for example. Chile has among the highest solar irradiance in the entire world, boasts Latin America\u2019s largest solar power plant, and in general enjoys an abundance of solar power.

Chile is planning on harnessing as much as 19% of the country\u2019s electricity using solar means by the year 2050, according to the roadmap set forth by the country\u2019s Ministry of Energy.
