The Bitcoin Core mining can remain profitable
using up to at least 24 TWh annually. That said, as the periodic
halvings reduce awards the fees, which are already to high to
make it useful for commerce, may soon make it problematic for
investment.
Bitcoin Cash is up to 8 times more energy
efficient and Bitcoin Unlimited blockchains could be >>
efficient yet.

The bitcoin computer network currently uses as much
electricity as Denmark. In 18 months, it will use as
much as the entire United States.
