>A typical single-person household utilizes around 2-3 kWh per year, that is about ~1,000 times less, including your whole gaming setup all other appliances.

What do you base your 2-3 kWh number on? Because there's literally no way that's true. A fridge alone consumes close to 200 kWh.

The antminer S19j (the j is important) consumes about 3.2kW at 90TH/s
