If you look at the data on the amount of energy consumed by global bitcoin mining, it’s 189 terawatt-hours as compared to 162,194 terawatt-hours of total global energy use, so that accounts for only 0.117% of all energy consumed annually. And over the last two years, bitcoin miners have become increasingly energy efficient through the use of sustainable sources like wind, solar, hydro, geothermal and nuclear. Bitcoin is powered by a 56% mix of sustainable energy, which is more than any other industry in the U.S.
