Great, the hard disk shortage a few years back was not enough, the current gpu one is not even done, and now we will not be able to buy ssd/hd anymore thanks to proof of space

How is it possible to frame those systems as green?

It's power that goes away to computation

It's hard disks that nobody uses and that sit there, eating power

All those things have not only the energy cost, but also the environmental, production costs associated, and the damage done to countless companies that can't get the hardware anymore
