As U.S. lawmakers consider limits on data and mining facilities because of energy usage, the industry wants to explain that their crypto worries are unfounded.
Mining bitcoin does take a tremendous amount of electricity. But the business model only works when that energy is particularly cheap — such as when it's provided by off-peak renewable sources — and can be given back at the times when it's most needed by the public, according to a report produced by Paradigm, which has miner Genesis Digital Assets in its investment portfolio.
The report, viewed by CoinDesk, disputes widely shared claims about bitcoin mining's energy use and waste issues by citing data that the sector actually uses about 0.23% of global energy and emits about 0.08% of the carbon. And the miners have to operate under a "break even price" per megawatt hour of electricity to enable profits.
This means that by its very nature, Bitcoin mining counter-balances the bulk of the average community’s energy consumption, bringing equilibrium to the grid — not strain," according to the report compiled by Justin Slaughter, vice president for regulatory affairs at Paradigm, and Veronica Irwin. "It is, in a word, bringing balance to our energy
Federal and state policy efforts are beginning to pile up that would seek to restrict data centers and digital mining operations, which could arguably fit under the "data center" definition in U.S. law. On Thursday, U.S. Senators Richard Blumenthal, a Connecticut Democrat, and Josh Hawley, a Missouri Republican, introduced a bill to stop data centers from pushing up electricity costs for consumers, though the legislative text doesn't explicitly mention bitcoin or crypto. New York state lawmakers have similarly been pursuing a data-center moratorium.
Artificial intelligence (AI) and cryptomining are fueling a rising demand for energy driven by massive, energy-intensive data centers," several Democratic U.S. senators wrote in a November letter to the chief of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission that asked for "immediate action" to protect consumers.
In Canada, British Columbia said in October it planned to halt new crypto mining operations from its energy grid.
The Paradigm report countered, "Bitcoin miners who use energy that would otherwise go to waste, or who participate in state-led programs to give energy control agencies more control over the grid, should be rewarded for their good behavior."

数時間前、チームはAsterメインネットが3月に立ち上がると発表しました。誰かにとっては、それは単なるロードマイルストーンのように聞こえるかもしれません。
私にとって、それは本当の物語の始まりを意味します。なぜなら、プロジェクトの真のアイデンティティはテストネットでは明らかにされないからです。

🛰 アマゾンが4,500のレオインターネット衛星を打ち上げるためのFCC承認を取得

連邦通信委員会は、アマゾンの4,500の衛星を展開するための要求を承認し、同社の計画された星座を拡大して、イーロン・マスクのスペースXと競争することを目指しています。FCCの承認により、アマゾンの計画された低地球軌道衛星の星座のサイズは約7,700衛星に達しました。アマゾンは、4月以降、さまざまなロケット打ち上げプロバイダーを使用して150以上の衛星を打ち上げています。アマゾンは、今年後半にレオというサービスを通じて衛星インターネットの提供を開始することを目指していると述べています。このプロジェクトは2019年に発表されました。
