The US Mint appears to use about 250 billion BTUs of energy a year, or about 73 GWh. I can't quickly find numbers for the Bureau of Engraving & Printing, but I suspect it's in the same ballpark. That puts it at about 0.1% the energy usage of Bitcoin. Now compare how much transaction volume Bitcoin supports versus that of USD cash currency. |
