Hi Molly -- plz examine http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-42265728 for example,
calculating the energy (and thus carbon cost) of BitCoin... it is not
insignificant. It's a bit like this problem: https://tinyurl.com/yar8svhe --
climate scientists as frequent flyers...
So it goes...

Mom’s “still reading about it” when the quiet “so...what about that
LightCoin” question came through to her ear at breakfast.
You are better “ financial advisors”—a curious professional role that only
exists for last three decades to sell “products” to hapless potential
investors.
You have torn a hole in my bubble!
