Great share. Also wish we had data on average electricity cost for plebs. I imagine its at least a full cent or two above the US industrial average rate.
In the U.S., residential rates are, in general, going to be far higher than the industrial rate in nearly every specific region.

Reasons home miners continue mining in the current environment vary, but will include how obtaining KYC-free BTC from other methods also incurs a premium, or that the cost of electricity is subsidized or paid by another party, or the heat is reused, etc.
