Just 137 crypto miners use 2.3% of total U.S. power — government now requiring commercial miners to report energy consumption::The U.S Energy Information Administration is now requiring large-scale cryptomining operations to report their energy consumption. Inevitably this will bring about new regulations that will restrict the energy consumption of miners in the future.

You can use more than one KW an hour lol
Fuck. You can !?
I’ve been turning off my stove every time i used a hair dryer for nothing?
I don’t think you understand how electricity works. Like at all. Do you think things max out at using 1 kWh? Why 1kWh and not simply 1 Wh? Or why could they not use 1 MWh? Should I inform the power company that they are clearly billing me wrong since they claim I use over 8760 kWh per year?
Instead you should be surprised that they are consuming so much goddamn power for something that has little use.
…what? Are you implying there aren’t enough hours in a year to use up that much energy? That doesn’t make any sense. What do you imagine is the maximum amount of energy a single person can use then?
Someone with some brains. I think I like you.
