U.S. crypto operations consume as much electricity as home computers, says White House
Crypto mining operations in the United States account for between 0.9% and 1.7% of the nation’s total power consumption, according to a report released today by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy detailing the environmental impact of crypto assets. The output is similar to the energy usage of all home computers or all residential lighting in the U.S.
The environmental impact is exacerbated by the fact that electricity demand driven by crypto mining is causing more natural gas and coal power plants to be put into use by electricity system operations, which cost more and pollute more than average grid electricity, according to the report.
Even with Ethereum’s planned shift, the energy output of Bitcoin remains a concern. As of last month, Bitcoin is estimated to account for up to 77% of global crypto-asset electricity usage.
