Democratic Lawmakers Look to Compel Crypto Miners to Disclose Energy and Emissions Data

The letter asked Granholm when the energy administration will implement a rule that makes it mandatory for firms to disclose energy data, and when the EPA plans to start collecting data from miners that generate more than the annual equivalent of 25,000 tons of carbon dioxide.
