#Bitcoin miners have located their facilities "On sites that can make use of very low-cost or stranded energy sources, including adjacent to natural gas wells that have waste methane that would otherwise need to be flared.” — EIA
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) issued an “emergency” collection of data request for #Bitcoin miners regarding energy use data…
I can’t wait for this to backfire when the data explicitly shows them miners are a net positive for U.S. energy production/stability.
Also, WTF is the EIA and why the fuck do we waste tax dollars on so many useless agencies filled with feckless bureaucrats?
