    It really doesn’t seem that hard to report electrical usage. The wording of the order (https://www.eia.gov/pressroom/releases/press550.php) isn’t very specific, but it sounds like they would simply be surveying major commercial miners. All they should need to do is pull up their electrical usage. Of if they don’t have it for some reason, they can estimate based on their devices and aggregate hash rate.

        Right; I just wonder what the judges imagined rationale is? It seems like it would be hard to construct even the veneer that it actually creates an unreasonably burden. But this is Texas, so🤷?
