FTA: A single bitcoin is thought to require 1,449 kilowatt hours (kWh) of energy to mine. That is equivalent to the energy used by a typical American home over the course of 13 years.
But it's GREEN renewable energy! Don't you know green renewable energy when you see it!!?
I think what GREEN energy means is money gets laundered to the elites, so it is green (cash) for them.
not sure where the 13 years came from... I average 800kWh per month. My annual use is 9,608kWh for a 1250sqft home in Michigan. Link below has the 2020 avg. at 893kWh/month

So you're saying the average American home has a average 24/7 electric consumption of only 12 watts?
You do realize a a light bulb consumes 55-60W, and about 3W for a modern LED light, your LED TV takes about 100W, CRT, LCD and older TV's use more energy. Laptops and phones charge at a couple of 100W. A gaming PC around 500W when running, computer monitors, power tools, kitchen appliances, towel dryer, washing machine, dryer, dishwasher and everything else using electricity.
That's retarded, and besides most machines means nothing compared to electric boilers and AC units, now we're talking a constant use of between 3 000W and 15 000W. 1500kWh would barely heat my house for a month. I'm spending an additional 1000kWh/mo on mining and take advantage of the excess heat.
