Bitcoin's electricity use it because of its sustained price. If the miners could not consistently sell for high prices the overall electricity use would go down. Price/electricity usage going up or down does not affect throughput over the long term.
Bitcoin's throughput is from being artificially crippled to sell a second layer. If the maximum block size was raised, it would have more throughput. The max block size does not change the amount of electricity used from the block reward.
The same way that you would not measure your internet connection on mb per kw/hr since the energy used by 10mbs service is going to be the same as 1000gbs service. The two things are barely correlated.
Energy per transaction is barely correlated. I know it is simple and easy to look at two numbers and pretend they depend on each other, but that isn't the dynamic here, which is why everything you are saying is nonsense.

You're being rude again. Once again this is against the site terms. I'm happy to engage in any civil conversation with you that doesn't involve name-calling, as I'm sure you've seen a number of times. This thread, however is closed.
You may wanna chat with your mother for a second opinion ;)
> No one is complaining and no one said "haters", these are things you hallucinated.
I didn't say you said 'haters' that's a stylized/flourished way of saying an opposing viewpoint. That's why it's in quotes. If anything it was self-deprecating/deferential with respect to my biases. Jumping in with "that's not how logic works" is certainly a valid thing to call out as whining or complaining because again it's not particularly civil. Off the basis of your misinterpretation you once again accuse your counter-party of 'hallucinating.'
As I said this thread is over and should in the future you decide to have a civil conversation I'll happily engage.
You seem happy to engage on how something is being said, but not so much on what is being said.
Of course, because I'm here to have an interesting conversation about an idea on its own merits, not be accused of hallucinating when you misinterpret something I've said. If you stop attacking the speaker, assumed some good faith, and have a civil conversation I suspect you'd have a better time.
Normally I have much more tolerance for shenanigans but you've demonstrated a pattern in our interactions.
So fine, "kWh per available transaction-second" may be a more apt moniker however that's strictly what I've been talking about. Since 100% of electricity usage is attributable to mutations, this is a completely fair quantization. As blocks have been overwhelmingly full for years, the point on discrepancy is pretty much moot.
And further, the point is a dump truck is totally unsuitable for use as a school bus.
You are more than welcome to measure Wh of electricity used per math question in regards to the lighting setup. You'll find that number small and irrelevant, however. On the other hand if it requires a few thousand kWh worth of light to do a math question, you're well within your rights to ask (a) why you're doing math questions in what must be a stadium setting and (b) whether there's a more efficient lighting solution.
Which are exactly the questions we're asking here.
So, respectfully, that's exactly how logic works.
