Industrial crypto mining is not in good company here.
- izzydata 3y agoMaybe so, but I'm mainly suggesting that such a law be written a way that targets any large scale and wasteful use of electricity rather than being so specific to crypto. Even if that means crypto is the only thing currently affected. I don't like the idea of a law deciding what you can and can't compute or that some other wasteful industries get a free pass.

If you got any other large scale wasteful uses of electricity, please let me know and we can work on getting rid of it too. > that some other wasteful industries Please start listing those "other wasteful industries".
