Apparently "terawatt-hours per year" is a unit that people use in public policy, but it strikes me as strange. Converting 16.22 TWh/year to a "more metric" unit, that's a sustained power usage of 1.85 gigawatts.

So Bitcoin is constantly using more than enough power to make Doc Brown's eyes bug out.
