Chinas crackdown is more about dirty Bitcoin mining than clean, they are shutting down these coal backed mines and keeping hydro mines open for now. So I believe this is no longer accurate. It also fluctuates greatly, there is no one number as a percent of mining that is green or dirty, because during wet months they migrate to hydro and dry months they migrate to dirty power in china.
