The chart https://twitter.com/FatTailCapital/status/899714838796148745 was produced as described in the footnote (mining hashrate × efficiency linearly declining from 1.5 to 0.2 J/GH), which IMHO fairly represents the "upper bound" of the energy consumption. The real consumption is likely lower. For example my study estimates the current efficiency is between 0.100 and 0.195 J/GH.
To give you an idea, "1M US homes continuously" is roughly the annual electricity consumption of decorative Christmas lights in the US.
