1 00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,439 Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Crypto, a daily Bloomberg I Heard podcast, 2 00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 1: and I'm Stacy Marie Ishmael, Managing editor of Crypto for 3 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: Bloomberg News. It's Thursday September. For this episode, we're doing 4 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,639 Speaker 1: something a little bit different. It's based on a conversation 5 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: that two of our reporters, Alison Vers Brill and David 6 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: Pan had with Costa Samaris doing a live Twitter spaces event. 7 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: Costa Samrs is the White House Chief Advisor for Energy Policy. 8 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: He works out of the Office of Science and Technology Policy. 9 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: Our reporters and Costa discussed the recent crypto climate report 10 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 1: and what's next for u S efforts on climate and 11 00:00:50,280 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: non crypto. This episode features highlights from that conversation. Hello 12 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,960 Speaker 1: and welcome everyone. Thanks for tuning in today. My name 13 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: is Alison Verse Brol and I'm the cryptop Thanks for 14 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: joining UM. The White House Office of Science and Technology 15 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 1: Policy released report earlier this month on the climate implications 16 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: of digital assets. Costa and your report. Your office lays 17 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 1: out some of the concerns about certain approaches for mining 18 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 1: and verifying crypto transactions, in particular and mechanism known as 19 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: proof of work. You also make recommendations on how to 20 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 1: address these concerns, including suggesting that the federal government collect 21 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 1: more data on power usage and work with states in 22 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: the crypto industry to set greener standards. Um, so what 23 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: does the main takeaway you want people to bring from 24 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: this report? Thanks so much for having me, Ali and David. 25 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: It's really a pleasure to be with you. But first, 26 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: before we get started, I just want to make sure 27 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: that folks on understand where we're coming from. I sit 28 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, 29 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: and we are the source of scientific and technological advice 30 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: and analysis for the President and the rest of the 31 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: Executive Officer of the President around major policies and plans 32 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,959 Speaker 1: and profits. And we did this report because in March 33 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: the pressure the President issued an executive work called Ensuring 34 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: the Responsible Development of Digital Assets. So the President tasked us, 35 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: the White House Officer as Science and Technology Policy, for 36 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: looking into the energy and environmental implications of crypto assets. 37 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: And so we got started, and we brought together a 38 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: group of interdisciplinary scientists and engineers and economists and others 39 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: to understand these broader issues and present some recommendations. And 40 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: so alle you asked, well, what did we find. Well, 41 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 1: at the highest level, we found that crypto assets represent 42 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: between point nine and one point seven percent of US 43 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 1: electricity use, and that the greenhouse gases that are associated 44 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: with crypto assets in the United States are between and 45 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,519 Speaker 1: fifty million metric tons, which is about point forward to 46 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: point eight percent of US g HD emissions. These numbers 47 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 1: are not big, but they're also not small. And what 48 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: the report lays out is making sure that we have 49 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: a handle on understanding this growing industry and ensuring that 50 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: the benefits for all folks in the United States are 51 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: maximized and the harms are minimized. You mentioned some agencies 52 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: that that should take uh specific actions, either on disclosure 53 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: requirements or setting new standards. I'm curious, like, what's what's 54 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: the next step One might we actually see some action 55 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: coming out of the recommendations made in the report. So 56 00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: what did our report find? So first, what was really piking? 57 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: And I think as we see a lot of the 58 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: comments that have come in over the last couple of 59 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: days when we've been talking about this event, is we 60 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: need better information. The public needs information and transparency so 61 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: that we can enable some evidence based policy. And one 62 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: of the recommendations. Actually, the biggest recommendation in this report 63 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: is let's all get better information about this growing industry. 64 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: And that could be voluntary disclosures from UH, from the 65 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 1: mining industry, it could be surveys from utilities and from 66 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: the Department of Energy UH, and it could be understanding 67 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: from state and local energy environmental agencies. And so with 68 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 1: some better information, we will be better able to understand 69 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: how to again maximize the benefits and minimize the damages. 70 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: So that's the first overall recommendation. The second is really 71 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: focused on communities. And now you asked which agencies could 72 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: potentially be involved. This is something where there's a role 73 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: for the federal government, is a role for state and 74 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: local governments, and there's a role for the industry. We 75 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,919 Speaker 1: think agencies like the Department of Energy and the Environmental 76 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 1: Protection Agency could come together with communities, with states and 77 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:18,280 Speaker 1: the industry to develop some effective, evidence based environmental performance 78 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: standards for the deployment of this type of tech these 79 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: technologies in communities. We want to make sure that communities 80 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 1: are protected from air pollution, from water pollution, from noise 81 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: pollution UH and also that these crypto assets are helping 82 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: the grid which there is some innovation that potentially that 83 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 1: these could do this rather than harming the grid. We 84 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: also see a potential role for the Department Energy and 85 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: others to make sure that as these crypto assets grow quickly, 86 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: that we maintain energy affordability and reliability. And that's one 87 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: of the things that we found that was surprising is 88 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: that this is an industry that can grow really fast. 89 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: And it's not to say that it will continue to 90 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 1: grow at that rate. The future growth is depends on 91 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of different factors. But because of the 92 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 1: ability to grow really fast, we want to make sure 93 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: that the public is protected and that innovation can still 94 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 1: drive towards net zero emissions, lowest cost electricity, and healthy communities. Well, 95 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: when you you mentioned in there the you know, the 96 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: federal government working with states to address some standards or 97 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: create some standards to address pollution um and in the report, 98 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: you know you mentioned that if that doesn't work, the 99 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: White House may want to consider executive actions or Congress 100 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: may want to consider legislation. Is there sort of a 101 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: tipping point in your mind for when it would be 102 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 1: necessary to resort to kind of the plan B in 103 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 1: that particular part of the report, and I think when 104 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: we when we stand on our principles healthy communities, affordable energy, 105 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 1: getting to net zero emissions, we can have a lot 106 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: of room for current innovation without any additional actions. So 107 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: there's no outline tipping point, there's no spreadsheet that says 108 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: after this other actions should be necessary. But I do 109 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: think it's important that as this industry grows and continues 110 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: to grow, that they grow in in balance and in 111 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: um in connection with the communities that they're operating in. Well, 112 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: and one last question from me, and then I think 113 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: we'll turn to some audience questions. But you know, when 114 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: I talked to the crypto industry UM about some of 115 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: the concerns regarding proof of work, you know, a lot 116 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: of the times they'll give me a sense of being 117 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: unfairly singled out when other industries. Often they'll say cloud 118 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: computing also use a sizeable amount of energy. I'm curious 119 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: to get your thoughts on this, UM and why has 120 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: this become an area that's gotten so much attention. Well, 121 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: the reason that we looked at this is because there 122 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: was an executive order and we were tasked by the 123 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: President to understand this specific industry. I do think UM 124 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: that the the thing that makes this industry different from 125 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: many other types of new and emerging uses is the 126 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: ability to grow fast. As I keep mentioning that UM 127 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,679 Speaker 1: United States was home to about three and a half 128 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 1: percent of bitcoin mining a couple of years ago, and 129 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: now it's more than thirty and so it's important to 130 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: understand how those trends can develop and how to minimize 131 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,719 Speaker 1: impacts on communities. You know, the last big recommendation that 132 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: we had in this report is really about innovation, and 133 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: you know, I think we'll probably get into it um 134 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: as as we continue this conversation, but there is innovation 135 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: to you use digital assets and crypto assets in in 136 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: reducing greenhouse gas emissions from vented methane, for example, or 137 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: by potentially using crypto assets to take advantage of renewable 138 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: energy that is not able to get to population centers. 139 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,959 Speaker 1: One piece that that was in the report but I 140 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: didn't see get a lot of notice, was that distributed 141 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: ledger technology was used to help the California system reduce 142 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: its electricity use in in its grid stress events that 143 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: were happening in September. And again, as long as we 144 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: stand on those principles, net zero grid, affordable and reliable electricity, 145 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: and not harming communities. I think there's a huge potential 146 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: benefit to driving innovation in this second coming up more 147 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: from the Twitter spaces conversation with Alison Vera Sprawl, David 148 00:09:55,559 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: Pan and Costa Samaras from the White House. We have 149 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: a question from the audience on UM using stranded methane 150 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:18,319 Speaker 1: to power mining. So this is from Denny from Duxbury, Massachusetts, 151 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 1: UM asking can bitcoin mining powered by natural gas that 152 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 1: would have otherwise been flared to help fund investments in 153 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: renewable energy UM the The example that they give is 154 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 1: in Texas, some shale drilling rigs are located beyond the 155 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 1: reach of pipelines, so the gas must be flared, releasing methane. 156 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: If this gas is instead used to power a mobile 157 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: bitcoin mining rig, a portion of those revenues could be 158 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 1: channeled into renewable energy, thereby hoping the US become more 159 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 1: energy independent. Any thoughts on this. So, venting and flaring 160 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 1: methane happens at a bunch of different places. Happens at 161 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: oil and gas well, it happens at landfill, happens at 162 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:02,319 Speaker 1: some sewage treatment, and some agriculture role. Processes and venting 163 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: and flaring methane at oil and gas wells waste about 164 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: four percent of global methane a year and contributes to 165 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: about four hundred million metric tons of c O two, 166 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: about point seven percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. So 167 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: in a world that gets to net zero emissions, we 168 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 1: want zero methane flare venting and methane flaring. If methane, 169 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: that would have been vented, So no methane should be 170 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 1: vented at all. The methane venting is bad. And so 171 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 1: why is it bad Because methane is a very potent 172 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: greenhouse gas emission. It's twenty seven to thirty times the 173 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: global warming potential of carbon dioxide over a hundred year timeframe, 174 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: and in the near term it's eighty times. It's powerful 175 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: of CEO two. So venting methane directly to the atmosphere 176 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: is bad for climate change, and we want to do 177 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: everything that we can to avoid that. And so typically 178 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,679 Speaker 1: what's happened is vented methane is flare, just lit on fire, 179 00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: completely wasted, and it's better that have flared methane than 180 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 1: vented methane. It would be even better to have that 181 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: methane be captured and used rather than wasted into the air. 182 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: And if mining operations can use vented or flared methane 183 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: to generate the electricity to do mining operations, there can 184 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 1: be a positive climate impact. So yes, absolutely, we want 185 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 1: to get venting to zero. We want to get flaring 186 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: as close as possible to zero. Again, this has to 187 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,599 Speaker 1: be done in the understanding of impacts to local communities. 188 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 1: So flaring is still going to create CEO two. Flaring 189 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: is still going to create some emissions, and it's important 190 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: that additional flaring is not overburdening communities that have historically 191 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: had lots of amount of pollution. All right, well let's 192 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: go ahead then, I think this is a good time 193 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: to kick it over to David Pan, our bitcoin mining reporter. 194 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: So David over to you. Thank you. So here's the 195 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: question from the one of the listeners. So she is asking, 196 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: what are the top three enabling or complimentary policies the 197 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: administration could implement to leverage bitcoin mining as a tool 198 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: for lower and growing house gas emissions. Well, you know, 199 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: the recommendations from our report focus on better information, minimizing 200 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,319 Speaker 1: impacts on communities, and driving innovation, and so those are 201 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 1: the three the areas that we focused on going forward. 202 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: The question is how can mining drive towards net zero emissions? 203 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: I would put that under our Driving Innovation recommendation, and 204 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: really it's demonstrating the ability and the trend, the preference 205 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: and ultimately, hopefully the majority operating conditions that this industry 206 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: drives towards building additional renewables, building additional storage, getting emissions 207 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: down to net zero as quickly as possible. Thank you 208 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: to Allison, David Anto Costa Samorrow.
