On a more strategic level, Any stats on yearly energy consumption in USA/EU/UK/World for

Bitcoin/cryptcurreny mining
storage of all data on servers?
CPU/GPU consumption of all servers?
Power for maint of internet and link bandwidth?

I think that 90..99 % off all energy use for internet/comm/mobile energy use is consumed for garbage videos/games/cat photos/porn/fraude

This the mining system mentioned here is perhsp using 0.000001% of the energy.

Can we know how  much energy  is wasted by government caused bureaucracy, wars, regulations, taxes, corruption?

SiliconWizard:
Beyond what Jon said - indeed a gigantic fraction of the computing energy used worldwide is for spam, shit content, fraud and corruption - a relevant study should compare the overall cost of maintaining cryptocurrencies with the cost of maintaining regular currencies, which is done differently, but also has a gigantic direct, but mostly indirect cost. How much do you think is the cost of "forcing" trust in currencies that would probably have long collapsed otherwise?

You can readily find sources for estimates of those globally , 0.5-1% for all crypto vs 1% for all other data centres, or 5-10% for all computer/IT/network use.

What's most important cooling is around 40% of OPEX with average PUE at around 1.6 in average DC.

We are dropping PUE to less than 1.04 with potential to heat recovery and reusage (huge potential)

What impact does the mineral oil have on optical connections, e.g. SC?
