Federal judge in Texas says new requirement would cause ‘irreparable injury’ to industry amid surging electricity usage
Oh no, not irreparable injury to a completely useless and environmentally damaging industry! Better keep causing irreparable damage to the planet instead then.
Ie: "no you can't shut down crypto miners for pointless ecological destruction, I'm making great money off their wasteful power usage"
This isn't even an effort to shut them down; just report the harm they do.
But that might lead to eventually maybe doing somethinginvestors!
Think of the investers!
Documenting the harm is one of the first steps to ending it...
"stop these atrocities!' "what atrocities? You've no evidence what's happening is bad."
Won’t someone think of the scammers…
My bored ape needs his slurp juice. HIS SLURP JUICE. PLEASE THINK OF MY BORED APE.
When are we going to start telling these people their opinion is irrelevant, when we are going to war over water in the next decade? God, this is like watching a car accident in slow motion...
It really doesn't seem that hard to report electrical usage. The wording of the order (https://www.eia.gov/pressroom/releases/press550.php) isn't very specific, but it sounds like they would simply be surveying major commercial miners. All they should need to do is pull up their electrical usage. Of if they don't have it for some reason, they can estimate based on their devices and aggregate hash rate.
Of course it's fucking Texas.
and because that judge is getting paid off by the crypto bros, he can't allow that to happen
Gosh, that's not suspicious...
Now did that statement cyst a couple thousand or a couple million?
