for one of the most inscrutable and fraud riddled industries to provide information on energy usage, since energy is a regulated industry. And because the request is getting pushback by some of the most powerful interests in the fossil fuel industry, the inquiry is probably worth pursuing. It's strange that libertarians who say that "crypto's wasteful, so what?" will not consider modest government oversight of energy usage by an arm of the finance industry whose legitimacy is questionable at best and that could ultimately affect financial health of the nation and stability of the grid, anything other than intrusive and wasteful.
