According to this chart:
https://ethereum.org/en/energy-consumption/ https://ethereum.org/en/energy-consumption/
It's 21 TWh/yr, on par with use of Google.
Alex de Vries (VU Amsterdam)calculates that by 2027 the AI sector could consume between 85 to 134 terawatt hours each year.
About the same as the annual energy demand of de Vries’ home country, the Netherlands.

How much does the Ukraine-Russia war cost extra in energy? Claude Sonnet says:
14.58 TWh per year.
This is likely a significant underestimate, as it doesn't account for all aspects of military operations. The actual figure could be several times higher, potentially in the range of 30-100 TWh.
