#Bitcoinminers are reportedly receiving letters from the U.S. Energy Information Administration ( #EIA ) demanding sensitive data within 10 days. The EIA, prompted by a Department of Energy statement, labeled #bitcoin mining as a potential cause of "public harm" and invoked emergency powers to mandate reporting of location, energy use, and supplier. Critics argue that such categorization and data demands are inappropriate for a growing industry. Advocates, including Satoshi Action, emphasize the positive potential of bitcoin mining, working with miners to showcase its benefits in grid balancing and methane emission reduction. A recent survey by Satoshi Action recorded 500 MW of respondents, indicating miners' willingness to collaborate and demonstrate the technology's value. The initiative seeks to inform lawmakers and regulators about the positive impact of bitcoin mining on energy management.
