Ethereum is green (on pure pos testnet) (our.status.im)

A 10,000 mAh power bank is able to run 10 validators (including Geth + Rocket Pool) on a Raspberry Pi for 10 hours.

The Pi consumes 5 watts, so that comes to around 0.1 KWh’s of energy per day for 10 validators, or 0.01KWh per validator.

That 3600x more energy efficient than Bitcoin PoW, or, put another way, a 99.97% reduction in power.

What is considered a waste is also subjective and a personal sympathy as well. You can indeed send ETH without pow although its still just testing. Pow is on its way out. period. How am I being misleading?
