🔋The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is gearing up for a second attempt to survey crypto mining companies about their energy usage, following a lawsuit that halted their initial effort. This time, the DOE is seeking input from industry participants on how the survey should be conducted. The initial survey, which required nearly 500 commercial crypto miners to provide detailed energy use data, was met with backlash from the industry. The Texas Blockchain Council and mining company Riot Platforms even filed a lawsuit against the DOE, accusing them of violating the Administrative Procedure Act. What are your thoughts on this? Should crypto miners share their energy usage data? 🤔
