You misunderstand, and should actually read the current amendment. Because it actually bans everything but miners. I.e. the electricity guzzling miners would keep running, but all the software devs trying to transition crypto networks to low resource usage consensus mechanisms would be made illegal.

If you feel that crypto is an environmental disaster, you should be vigorously opposed to the Portman-Warner amendment.

Would it change the effect much to add miners? It seems like this would tank the prospects of most mainstream crypto as is.
