    Some statistics to start the year:

    During 2021 Bitcoin consumed 134 TWh in total, which is comparable to the electrical energy consumed by a country like Argentina.

    Related CO2 emissions were ~64 Mt

    In 2015 the average energy use per Bitcoin transaction was already equivalent to the energy consumption of a U.S. household over 1.5 days.

    The same metric has gone up 50 times since. The energy used for a single BTC transaction could power a U.S. household for almost 2.5 months.
