    Oh no, not irreparable injury to a completely useless and environmentally damaging industry! Better keep causing irreparable damage to the planet instead then.

    Ie: “no you can’t shut down crypto miners for pointless ecological destruction, I’m making great money off their wasteful power usage”

        Documenting the harm is one of the first steps to ending it…

        "stop these atrocities!’ “what atrocities? You’ve no evidence what’s happening is bad.”

    When are we going to start telling these people their opinion is irrelevant, when we are going to war over water in the next decade? God, this is like watching a car accident in slow motion…

    It really doesn’t seem that hard to report electrical usage. The wording of the order (https://www.eia.gov/pressroom/releases/press550.php) isn’t very specific, but it sounds like they would simply be surveying major commercial miners. All they should need to do is pull up their electrical usage. Of if they don’t have it for some reason, they can estimate based on their devices and aggregate hash rate.

        Right; I just wonder what the judges imagined rationale is? It seems like it would be hard to construct even the veneer that it actually creates an unreasonably burden. But this is Texas, so🤷?

    and because that judge is getting paid off by the crypto bros, he can’t allow that to happen
