If it costs more than it's worth to use power straight off the grid from coal, oil and gas then Bitcoin miners won't use power straight off the fucking grid. This legislation is unnecessary and obviously a cover for putting the clamps on crypto because it's competition with their precious fucking fiat.

Okay
How much energy does the Federal Reserve, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, etc. use, including all of their employees, including all of their executives/CEOs?
Including their private jets and shit?
Has anyone run such calculations?

That's because Obama didn't fly to his Florida resort every weekend. But it's more about how trump tweeted constantly about Obama playing golf then went literally every weekend to play golf

Fox news did regularly attack Obama, or his family, when they went places though (and trump parrots what he hears on Fox News to twitter)

This is just like 1/3rd of his tweets about Obama golfing
