🔥 Uncle Sam’s Jolly Green Crusade: Bitcoin Miners Face Epic Eco-Battle! 🌍

I say, what a frightfully peculiar thing occurred in those hallowed halls of Congress today! Rather like when my Aunt Agatha decides to reorganize my sock drawer – uninvited and with militant enthusiasm. 🧦

Two rather earnest chaps, Senators Whitehouse and Fetterman (who, I dare say, sound like characters from one of Bertie’s club) have cooked up what they’re calling the Clean Cloud Act of 2025. Rather like naming a prize pig at the county fair, if you ask me! 🐷

The Government’s Latest Wheeze: Making Bitcoin Miners Go Green

The Environmental Protection Agency – frightfully serious bunch, don’t you know – is to be given powers that would make even Jeeves raise an eyebrow. They’re planning to keep tabs on these computer johnnie’s using more than 100 kilowatts, which is roughly what my Aunt Dahlia uses to power her annual Christmas light extravaganza. ⚡

The whole thing reminds me rather of when Gussie Fink-Nottle tried to regulate his newt collection – frightfully complicated business with charts and whatnot. They’re proposing an 11% annual reduction in emissions, which seems about as achievable as teaching Tuppy Glossop to refuse a plate of Anatole’s cooking. 🍽️

And here’s the real tickler – they’re planning to charge $20 per ton of carbon thingummy, increasing faster than Aunt Agatha’s disapproval of my lifestyle choices. 💸

“By Jove,” as Senator Whitehouse practically exclaimed, though in considerably more governmental language, “these tech johnnies have more dosh than Roderick Spode has ridiculous political ideas!” 🎩

The whole business is getting greener than Madeline Bassett’s garden party decorations, with 41% of Bitcoin mining now powered by renewable energy. One might say it’s becoming as eco-friendly as Gussie’s beloved newts! 🦎

I must say, at this rate, by 2030 these Bitcoin chappies will be running on more green energy than my cousin Angela’s experimental solar-powered tea cozy. Rather spiffing progress, what? 🌟
