What's the most horrible power waste from your opinion?

Crypto mining ::)

You mean this report? https://www.cbeci.org/.

It says that bitcoin mining consumes enough that it can power small countries like Kuwait or Switzerland?  ;D

You’re so mean but I love it lol 😂

Asking this question is really a waste of time specially when he mentioned that his answer is Crypto mining

I have some thoughts that OP does not have any crypto at all that’s why his bitterness eats him whole

impressive numbers on www.cbeci.org

My country has burned natural gas for a century, only in the recent years a part of it has been saved for export and some domestic use.

This is because the oil underground is often accompanied with natural gas, which is dangerous to leave around once you drill and it starts coming out. Companies rather than invest in the equipment to catch it, they simply burn it. That's how the oil industry operates...

And now, we have blackouts all the time, because the current administration considered pointless to keep the natural gas generators, and rather sold them for their own benefit... It took a little forest fire in march for the "dark" truth to come out.

Remember in "socialism" it is unfair for only the rich to have electricity, so everyone should live equally in darkness, except the leaders and some party members, of course...

• AC that is leaving to on in rooms without people.
• Charger that is stick on the electric plugs.
• That big screen TV displaying ads in the street.

There is a lot, simple things that is not necessary.

Cooling and Heating: 47% of energy use.

Should avoid using Air Conditioners when you don't need them really, if the climate is good enough use Fan instead of Air Conditioners.
The major portion of the electricity is wasted due to the usage of Air Conditioners in the scenario when it is not required.

It's a waste if you will mine coins that are valueless.

This, really do happen in my country and most time it do touch my thinking. If I closed from work I always see offices’ left on all the ac and light on for the whole night and all of these offices are government offices. I believe that governments officers waste power more than mining or activities of private firms.

For me the sun is the most horrible power waste we have right now, we could take tons of energy from it, but we use to burn our skin and get a cool tanned tone, lol. Some technologies already get that energy and transfer it to electric light, even some countries use it to get hot water for the shower, but we are not taking more than 1% from the total energy we get. That's why i think the sun is our biggest waste right now.

High figure 47%, pretty sure we could save a lot.
