比特币开采超过 50% 清洁能源

比特币挖矿已达到一个重要里程碑，其 56.67% 的能源来自可再生能源。这一成就满足了特斯拉首席执行官埃隆·马斯克设定的条件。

Bitcoin miners have achieved a significant milestone, with over 56% of their energy now coming from renewable sources. This achievement fulfills a condition set by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who had stated that the company would begin accepting Bitcoin again once its renewable energy consumption surpassed 50%.

比特币矿工已经实现了一个重要的里程碑，现在超过 56% 的能源来自可再生能源。这一成就满足了特斯拉首席执行官埃隆·马斯克设定的条件，他曾表示，一旦可再生能源消耗超过 50%，该公司将再次开始接受比特币。

As a result, there is growing anticipation that Tesla will reintroduce Bitcoin as a payment method for its electric vehicles. In recent years, Bitcoin miners have made substantial progress in adopting cleaner energy sources.

因此，人们越来越期待特斯拉将重新引入比特币作为其电动汽车的支付方式。近年来，比特币矿商在采用清洁能源方面取得了实质性进展。

Regions like Quebec, Iceland, and Texas have become attractive to miners due to their diverse renewable resources, including hydropower, geothermal, and wind energy.

魁北克、冰岛和德克萨斯等地区因其多样化的可再生资源（包括水力发电、地热能和风能）而对矿工有吸引力。

Currently, hydropower leads the renewable energy generation with 23%, followed by wind energy at 5%, and solar power at 2%.

目前，水力发电占可再生能源发电量的23%，其次是风能，占5%，太阳能发电占2%。

Bitcoin mining is estimated to consume around 127 terawatt-hours annually, but it still faces challenges regarding carbon emissions.

据估计，比特币挖矿每年消耗约 127 太瓦时，但仍面临碳排放方面的挑战。

Despite the increase in clean energy usage, Bitcoin mining is still responsible for emitting approximately 69 million metric tons of CO₂ each year, raising major environmental concerns.

尽管清洁能源使用量有所增加，但比特币挖矿每年仍排放约 6900 万吨二氧化碳，引发了重大环境问题。

Although not renewable, nuclear energy accounts for 9% of the Bitcoin mining energy. Geothermal energy has also contributed to the push for cleaner energy in Bitcoin mining, especially in El Salvador.

虽然核能不可再生，但它占比特币挖矿能源的 9%。地热能源也促进了比特币挖矿中清洁能源的发展，特别是在萨尔瓦多。

However, coal still provides 22% of the energy used, marking a reduction from the 40% reported in previous years.

然而，煤炭仍占所用能源的 22%，比前几年报告的 40% 有所下降。

Bitcoin Payments at Tesla

特斯拉的比特币支付

The Bitcoin market is now awaiting Tesla's decision on whether to reintroduce Bitcoin payments.

比特币市场目前正在等待特斯拉决定是否重新引入比特币支付。

Initially, Elon Musk suspended Bitcoin payments in May 2021 due to environmental concerns.

最初，出于环境问题，埃隆·马斯克于 2021 年 5 月暂停了比特币支付。

Now that Bitcoin miners have reached the 50% renewable energy threshold, many anticipate Tesla will begin accepting Bitcoin transactions again.

现在比特币矿工已经达到了 50% 可再生能源的门槛，许多人预计特斯拉将再次开始接受比特币交易。

The potential return of Bitcoin payments could also be influenced by political and economic factors.

比特币支付的潜在回报也可能受到政治和经济因素的影响。

Elon Musk's relationship with President-elect Donald Trump could shape future policies in the regulation of Bitcoin and digital assets.

埃隆·马斯克与当选总统唐纳德·特朗普的关系可能会影响比特币和数字资产监管的未来政策。

Additionally, Trump's support for Bitcoin has increased optimism among Bitcoin proponents regarding favorable regulatory policies.

此外，特朗普对比特币的支持增加了比特币支持者对有利监管政策的乐观情绪。

As Bitcoin miners continue to shift towards renewable energy, some industry participants, like Riot Platforms and MARA Holdings, are ramping up their investments in sustainable energy.

随着比特币矿商继续转向可再生能源，Riot Platforms 和 MARA Holdings 等一些行业参与者正在加大对可持续能源的投资。

Despite the increase in clean energy usage, Bitcoin mining remains a costly investment amid the global energy crisis.

尽管清洁能源的使用量有所增加，但在全球能源危机中，比特币挖矿仍然是一项昂贵的投资。

Moreover, mining companies are continuing to purchase Bitcoin to strengthen their positions as operational costs rise.

此外，随着运营成本上升，矿业公司正在继续购买比特币以巩固其地位。
