Well to make any reasonable comparison we need to see it at a human scale number like dollars per person per day or something otherwise it's just posturing and politics... Big numbers are always manipulated to serve one interest or another

To make a reasonable comparison you would actually need to look at the opportunity costs. This gets even harder as bitcoin mining operations frequently locate at locations which have extremely cheap power. Power which would have huge transmission loss when moving to individual's homes.
