Would appreciate your opinion about this

I think it is not feasible to use gas during oil extraction to maintain BTC miners, as we need connections between oil companies and power generation companies and mining farms. Perhaps clean energy like solar and wind will be simpler and more accessible to miners.
The idea of ​​converting BTC's consensus protocol from POW to POS is also worth considering.

It seems to me that in the future this figure will continue to fall, since altcoins are developing much faster, they are becoming more convenient to use and more in demand. At the same time, mining bitcoin every four years is becoming less profitable.
