It would be interesting to know what value the authors place on the damages caused by a typical single family home's annual electricity usage.
- engineer_22 6y agoI did the math. Based on US Gov't estimate the average single family home uses 11 MWh per year. [1] And a 2018 snapshot of BTC according to the paper: price per coin: $8000 MWh per coin: 80 Damages per coin: $3,170 Damagers per MWh: $39.62 Therefore, the typical single family home produces $435 in health and environmental damage each year.... not outside the realm of possibility.
