Bitcoin diggers like this consume a lot of power each month, and even higher than many countries in the world.

CNN wrote an article quoting meteorologist Eric Holthaus as saying, "Bitcoin is slowing our efforts to convert natural fuels into clean energy." Digiconomists also reported that Bitcoins currently consume an average of 32TW of electricity per year (equivalent to 32 billion kilowatts of electricity), and that is enough to supply more than 3 million homes in the United States. .
