That equates to more than half the 38 terawatt - hours of electricity used annually by the world's biggest miner (as in literal, pull materials out of the ground mining), BHP Billiton Ltd..

Some may argue this comparison is too simplistic and «apples to oranges» but the annual terawatt hour consumption figures persist none the less, and Bitcoin costs roughly 10x more energy than CERN Meanwhile, most, if not all of us will probably find it very difficult to demonstrate a cost / utility argument in support of Bitcoin having 10x more benefit than CERN.

As a result, Bitcoin's electricity consumption could rise as high as 120 terawatt - hours by the end of the year, about as much as Norway and more than double its current appetite.

That equates to more than half the 38 terawatt hours of electricity used annually by the world's largest miner (as in literal, pull materials out of the ground, mining), BHP Billiton Ltd..

CCS has not yet been commercially deployed at any centralized power plant; the existing nuclear industry, based on reactor designs more than a half - century old and facing renewed public concerns of safety, is in a period of retrenchment, not expansion; and existing solar, wind, biomass, and energy storage systems are not yet mature enough to provide affordable baseload power at terawatt scale.

Depending on who you're asking, this process has Bitcoin consuming more energy than a small country (e.g., Bulgaria, North Korea), which could be anywhere from 1 to 35 terawatt - hours per year.
