Comment on Just 137 crypto miners use 2.3% of total U.S. power — government now requiring commercial miners to report energy consumption

  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?

  …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?
