This is a real concern. It’s why my @EnergyCommerce Committee is actively investigating the impacts cryptomining companies have on our grid & the environment. It's critical that they mitigate their fossil fuel use & climate pollution in this emerging space.bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Today’s letters follow a hearing my @EnergyCommerce Committee held in January and are a continuation of our investigation into crypto’s impacts on our energy grid and climate goals. I look forward to getting answers.

Blockchain technology and #Cryptocurrency bring enormous promise but some blockchains are consuming enormous amounts of energy. Today, I held a #SubOversight hearing on this energy usage and how the crypto industry can assist us in achieving our climate goals. pic.twitter.com/afAMUq7K3s
