The report discusses bitcoin’s energy use and its negative effects on the environment while suggesting possible executive action in the future.
根据拜登总统的说法 行政命令, the White House Office of Science and Technology submitted its report on bitcoin mining’s climate impact.The report alludes to possible executive orders and legislation from congress to “limit” or “eliminate” proof-of-work mining.

报告称：“如果这些措施在减少影响方面无效，政府应探索行政行动，国会可能考虑立法，以限制或消除在加密资产开采中使用高能源强度共识机制。”
接下来，该文件探讨了采矿如何影响电网。
The Office of Science and Technology asserts that bitcoin mining facilities create added stress on the power grid that leads to blackouts, fire hazards, and equipment deterioration. The report also claims that bitcoin miners will raise the average electricity cost for local consumers.
报告中写道：“根据所使用技术的能源强度，加密资产可能会阻碍更广泛的努力，以实现符合美国气候承诺和目标的净零碳污染。”
Finally, the last section concludes that there are ways in which bitcoin mining can actually benefit U.S. climate goals, although this is a much smaller section.
报告称：“安装设备利用排出的甲烷发电的[工作量证明]采矿更有可能有助于而不是阻碍美国的气候目标。”
然而，值得一提的是，在本报告中引用的资源中，许多都是 辩论 一些研究人员因此受到批评 极端偏见或错误信息.
