I saw an article that mentioned that the total electricity being used for the Bitcoin network was over half of what the Large hadron collider uses. I found this a bit shocking, I had no idea it was this much.


How much electricity is the hadron collider using? ( I worried a little about that thing, thinking that maybe they might make a big explosion, or do some kind of cross-dimensional time-warping or strange wierd stuff, like the philadelphia experiment)

Dated 2007, but:

Says the LHC in and of itself is expected to use 41 PJ/yr.
