The foundation also compared this to other simple activities that require energy, like Google searches. For example, one Google search uses 24 times less energy than charging a mobile phone. The network’s energy consumption was also lower than an LED bulb that consumes 36,000 joules of energy for one hour.

Solana claiming that it was greener than Google added in the value of SOL/USD on Sunday and pushed its prices higher. This claim in days when its biggest competitor Ethereum is battling high gas fees and electricity bills added further push to its prices and forced it to recover most of its previous day’s losses.

Solana (SOL) recovered from the 50-day SMA ($202) but declined from the 20-day EMA ($216). This indicates a shift in trading sentiment from buying the dips to selling on rises.

However, Solana has crossover the 50 EMA, signaling that bullish bias persist, and the buyers are seeking to push the price higher to resistance line. If they keep the price above 50 EMA, the SOL/USD pair might spike to $210, and then to $216.
