Say a possible way to extract gold is to run a hose outside your window and let it wash away the dirt. Sometimes flakes of gold are found after enough dirt has washed away.

It's true that many other people use water in other ways. I'm sure industry uses a lot of water.

Are you comfortable with this approach yourself?

I'm comfortable with crypto mining.
I got that already.

Is it only the use of energy that's OK or is it other natural resources like fresh water too? Fresh water is much more renewable than some forms of energy so it's a curious distinction.

Sorry, not sure I understand your question. What about fresh water?
