The U.S. politicians’ letter to ERCOT’s CEO says they are seeking information on crypto miners “using substantial amounts of electricity.”
US Lawmakers Send Inquiry to ERCOT CEO Over Texas Crypto Mining and Its Effects on the So-Called Climate Crisis
Elizabeth Warren’s Office Sends Letter to ERCOT’s Chief Executive Over Crypto Mining and Its Effects on Climate Change The lawmakers claim that data from roughly seven different crypto mining facilities indicate that they operate on roughly 1,045 megawatts of electricity and the capacity, they say, is enough to “power a city of 830,000 residences.” Out of all the entities leveraging electrical resources from ERCOT, the bureaucrats’ letter does not disclose why the U.S. policymakers have singled out cryptocurrency mining.
The one study that the letter does utilize for a citation is the recent climate report published by the White House. The bureaucrats believe that the miners flocking to ERCOT’s electrical resources will put extreme pressure on the Texas power grid and exacerbate the so-called climate crisis.
