🔋⚡️Crypto Energy Debate: Power Up or Power Down?⚡️🔋
Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick is sounding the alarm on Bitcoin mining, fearing it might overload the electrical grid. Meanwhile, former President Trump is all in, envisioning the U.S. as the "crypto capital of the planet" and promising to ramp up energy production to support it.
But is crypto really an energy hog? Not quite. Estimates show crypto consumes just 0.6% to 2.3% of U.S. electricity. Plus, Bitcoin miners can power down during peak times, easing grid stress.
