I'm curious about this actually: what is the power consumption of the whole ensemble Bitcoin+altcoins? From what you're saying + the original thread, it looks like almost sure that electricity used by those combined would be at least 0,5% and could even be a higher number, no? Even if Bitcoin is the biggest one, the others are quite a lot which makes them not completely discardable I guess.
