    Bitcoin runs on electricity, not internal combustion engines. Bitcoin’s use of energy is no more or less damaging to the environment than any other electricity user in the same area.

      Cool, cool. Which of my appliances requires 535.6 megawatt-hours to run? I mean, my house is about 10, so I may be missing something.

          I’m sorry, let me clarify. A megawatt is a unit of electricity.
