US lawmakers introduce a bill for EPA to investigate energy consumption by crypto mining
Senators Ed Markey (D-Mass.) and Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), as well as Rep. Jared Huffman (D-Calif.), introduced new legislation on Thursday. If passed, this bill would direct the Environmental Protection Agency to investigate.
The lawmakers said, “The Crypto-Asset Environmental Transparency Act would direct the EPA to produce a report examining the effect miners using more than 5 megawatts of power have on greenhouse gas emissions.” They further warned that it could jeopardise US energy goals and local power grids.
