A comment on Just 137 crypto miners use 2.3% of total U.S. power. Parent comment
The 137 facilities they are talking about use an 2.3% of US electricity when run at capacity.
Separately they use CEBCI data to come up with a top-down estimate of bitcoin mining at 0.6% to 2.3% of US electricity.
Putting the two together suggests the true number is at the high end of the range.
