As DOE Preps for Take Two of Controversial Crypto Mining Survey, Industry Weighs in
Summary
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is planning a new survey on crypto mining energy usage after its initial attempt was halted by a lawsuit. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) held a webinar to gather input from the public, including crypto miners, on how the survey should be conducted. The EIA is considering including traditional data centers in the survey and will publish a preliminary proposal in the Federal Register for a 60-day comment period. The final decision on the survey rests with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
