 Paypals' new green scheme makes no sense. It wants miners to pick low value fees (uneconomical) & some benevolent entity (tbd) will give them a subsidy to make up for it

Bitcoin doesn't need wonky schemes, miners are already building renewables & cutting methane & toxic waste

Fees rn are 3 BTC, it would need to be a sweet subsidy to make any rational miner switch to Paypal's wonky green scheme

 Stupid virtue signalling 
 I would have to be paid to read that nonsense. Props to you for giving it a chance 
 I was curious, I wanted to know who will subsidize the green miners, but the paper never even outlines this!! 
 Thank God for the profit motive.
