The environmental impact of Bitcoin mining has been heavily debated for over a decade, drawing criticisms from some members of the United Nations and governments over concerns that it contributes to global warming. However, Bitcoin environmentalists such as Daniel Batten argue that Bitcoin mining now uses a much larger share of lower-carbon and renewable energy sources, making many of the old narratives outdated. The Bitcoin Evidence Base works by generating evidence-based responses to Bitcoin-related criticisms submitted by users via text or links. Cointelegraph found that The Bitcoin Evidence Base routinely cites an April 2025 University of Cambridge study that found more than 52% of Bitcoin is now mined using renewable energy sources. The database also points out that Bitcoin’s renewable energy mix is higher than that of the banking sector and that more than 22 peer-reviewed studies have documented the environmental benefits of Bitcoin. BB66 said the AI-powered database implements Batten’s Bitcoin “communication playbook” to counter Bitcoin misinformation with “evidence and empathy.” This strategy includes acknowledging what was true about the criticisms before addressing the misconceptions in a way that aims to educate the person and the broader public rather than seeking to win a debate.
