We can’t keep ignoring cryptomining’s skyrocketing energy demands and planet-polluting emissions. It’s a risk to the health of our communities & planet—so @SenMarkey and I are ramping up efforts to get much-need oversight and regulation on crypto schemes. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eenews…

There are a lot of concerns over the energy use and pollution caused by cryptomining. @SenWarren and I urged the admin to use its authorities to make sure companies are being transparent about their emissions and exactly how much energy they use. theverge.com/2023/2/7/23588…

Glad to see NY taking steps to curb fossil fuel-powered cryptomining. These cryptominers pose a major threat to the climate and public health, and I'll keep pushing for the rest of the US to follow NY's lead. nytimes.com/2022/11/22/nyr…

I teamed up with @SenWarren to investigate the amount of energy cryptominers use. What we uncovered is staggering—and it only scratches the surface. The @EPA and @ENERGY have to come together and get this under control. finance.yahoo.com/news/congressi…
