Crypto-assets could hinder US climate efforts: White House

Oh hey look, the reports from Biden's [Executive Order on Ensuring Responsible Development of Digital Assets](https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2022/03/09/executive-order-on-ensuring-responsible-development-of-digital-assets/) are coming to light and **surprise** they're not friendly towards Bitcoin.

Still saying Bitcoin uses more energy than countries (p21):
>Global crypto-asset mining emissions, at a rate of 140 Mt CO2/y, are greater than the emissions
of many individual countries, and equivalent to the global emissions from all barges, tankers, and
other ships on inland waterways.122 Bitcoin alone generates approximately two-thirds of global
crypto-asset GHG emissions.123,124,125,126 Bitcoin emissions have increased rapidly from a range
of 2 to 16 Mt CO2/y in 2017127,128,129 to 100 ± 20 Mt CO2/y from May 30 to June 16,
2022,130,131,132 an increase of approximately 10 times in five years.
