Right Ethereum is really lucky to have Bitcoin around to make it look good. It (very recently) cut it's energy usage by ~99.84% yet one ETH transaction is still 50x the amount of energy as a MasterCard transaction
Thanks for clarifying. This seems to be a better picture of reality compared to your previous comment.
