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.

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…

It’s time we pull back the curtain on crypto’s harmful environmental impacts.
Today, @SenMarkey and I introduced a bill to get the transparency we need for oversight and accountability in this industry.

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.

Glad to see OSTP addressing the issues with crypto mining I’ve raised in many letters to the admin.
We can’t let the serious climate and environmental justice concerns tied to crypto mining go unchecked. theverge.com/2022/9/16/2335…

Thank you @WHOSTP for confirming the climate impacts of cryptomining, which uses more electricity than many individual countries. I will keep pushing to hold cryptominers accountable for their immense carbon emissions & environmental impacts on our planet. cnbc.com/2022/09/08/cry…

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…

The expansion of crypto in the U.S. poses a major threat to the climate, public health, and #envirojustice. The admin must prioritize these issues when they are overseeing digital assets.
