Yeah, came from the DOE apparently. When people start talking about how much energy something uses as a bad thing it makes me wonder do they know how much energy other things use. Its not really a question of how much energy something uses. Its if you think it is worthy of that energy. Even lower level though... its none of my business what someone does with the electricity they buy. They paid for it. When energy is scarce prices go up. When prices go up people are more careful about how they use something. This whole topic is a bunch of nonsense IMO. There's no winning with the people worried about 2% energy use. They don't like bitcoin and they think they have a right to hold a gun to someone's head and force them to stop. Period.
