"It is evident that the utilization of energy has become a focal, social and political issue that has become a topic of discussion for the last half-century and has expanded well into the 21st century. Recently, there has been massive argument surrounding the efficiency of blockchain and how/if Proof-Of-Work exacerbates an already fragile climate. Blockchain has unfortunately utilized the same amount of energy as 159 individual nations; from a global perspective, that is roughly 75% of all nations that exist on the Earth: a staggering statistic indeed.
AERGO is looking to solve this issue through its Delegated-Proof-Of-Stake consensus model. AERGO’s blockchain operability isn’t accompanied by centralized mining farms that contribute to energy inefficiencies and non-friendly environmental tactics to create blocks. AERGO utilizes a Delegated-Proof-Of-Stake model that mandates block-producers become net-carbon zero and will consistently give preference the corporate entities that perpetuate this vision."
