It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

Just wait until this happens in America, Obama won't be happy (large scale mining isn't exactly environmentally friendly)...

They can always try mining, or charge your electricity bills in bitcoins.

I don't think Bitcoin has anything to do with it.
There are like, what, a few thousand miners in the UK?

It might very well be Bitcoin. Electricity market doesn't usually see high fluctuations, so a systematic change like Bitcoin will push prices up.

Lol there is absolutely 0% chance this is due to bitcoins. Like not even in the ballpark of material energy increase.
