Why did doe suspend a survey of cryptocurrency miners' energy use?
Could you possibly elaborate on the reasons behind the suspension of the survey that was intended to assess the energy consumption of cryptocurrency miners? I'm particularly interested in understanding the rationale for this decision, given the increasing focus on the environmental impact of the cryptocurrency industry. Was it due to technical difficulties, funding issues, or perhaps concerns regarding the accuracy of the data collection methods? Could you also comment on any potential implications this suspension might have for the industry and its sustainability efforts?
