The U.S. House of Representatives supports proof-of-work (PoW) mining as a way to stimulate the economy.




A resolution highlighting the importance of Proof-of-Work (PoW) mining for certain cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, in the nation's capacity to meet its energy goals and advance its economy, has been introduced by the Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives.

This action contrasts sharply with the White House's recent declaration of a 30% tax increase on PoW mining. 

The resolution was delivered to the committees on energy and commerce, foreign affairs, financial services, and science, space, and technology by Mr. Sessions on March 21, 2023. The committees will think on the laws that fall under their purview.

The resolution emphasizes how proof-of-work (PoW) mining use powerful processing to decode a random encrypted number and earn Bitcoin in exchange for the privilege to create the following block in a blockchain. This procedure establishes the guidelines for miners and confirms the legitimacy of each blockchain transaction. According to the resolution, proof-of-work (PoW) mining is a crucial step in maintaining a blockchain network's trustworthiness, transparency, and decentralization.

The resolution also points out that PoW mining necessitates energy consumption for the validation process, but many worries are unfounded. PoW mining consumes less energy than is wasted annually in transmission and distribution, consuming only 0.14% of the world's energy supply, which is transparent and verifiable. 

PoW mining additionally looks for inexpensive energy and can use surplus supply during off-peak hours, which enhances the general economic sustainability of renewable energy projects. PoW mining also helps to keep the grid stable through demand response, which enables miners to immediately reduce load in order to keep the supply and demand of the electrical grid in balance.

The resolution also emphasizes how electricity prices have a significant impact on the economics of PoW mining. When the grid is overloaded or the cost of electricity is high, miners might reduce production, supplying more energy to homes and the grid. It uses the summer and winter of 2022 as an illustration, when Bitcoin miners cut their usage in response to a conservation alert from the Electric Reliability Council of Texas by over 1,000 MW and up to 1,475 MW, respectively.

The resolution also makes the case that PoW mining can minimize methane emissions by using stranded or wasted methane as a fuel source and thereby reducing the quantity of methane that is released into the atmosphere. Ultimately, the resolution conveys the House of Representatives' conviction that PoW mining is essential to the country's economic development and energy aspirations.
