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.

Let’s waste 2.7% energy for some virtual asset with purely speculative value while we warm our planet past the 1.5C. All out of greed.
