You absolutely can by investing in transmission infrastructure instead of wasting it on guessing nonces. It incentivizes continuing to waste it instead of transmitting to to places with productive uses.

Transmission is extremely efficient. A power line spanning all the way from New York to San Francisco should be about 92% efficient.

Transmission line losses are only about 2-3% per 1000km. [1]
