I 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.
