<h2 id="header-0">Examining White House Recommendations by Agencies</h2>Apparently criticising U.S. energy agencies for allegedly failing to respond to the White House&#39;s request for them to conduct &#34;reliability assessments of current and projected crypto-asset mining operations on electricity system reliability and adequacy,&#34; Jared Huffman, a U.S. lawmaker who supports greater scrutiny of crypto-mining entities, has reportedly done so. Allison Clements, a commissioner at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, is adamant that grid assessments should not exclude cryptocurrency mining.Huffman, a Democratic Party representative from California, claims that the federal authorities&#39; inaction may indicate that the issue—environmental harm purportedly brought on by crypto mining—is potentially getting worse.U.S. energy and environmental regulators haven&#39;t made plans to pursue potential efficiency regulations or to carry out energy use assessments, as required by the White House study, according to a Bloomberg Law article. For instance, Costa Samaras, the Office of Science and Technology Policy&#39;s principal assistant director for energy, is mentioned in the report conceding that the agencies have not yet provided a response. According to Samaras, each agency is studying the recommendations and will make pledges in accordance with their own procedures and timetables.The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and the North American Electric Reliability Commission (NAERC), however, asserted that there is no plan to conduct a reliability assessment specifically for cryptocurrencies because they already have safeguards in place in the event of a grid shortfall.Grid studies shouldn&#39;t Focus Specifically on Crypto MiningIn its report, Climate Implications of Crypto Assets in the United States, the White House advised that the FERC, NAERC, and regional organisations conduct reliability studies of present and prospective crypto-asset mining operations on power system dependability and adequacy.The White House report also urged agencies in charge of gathering data on energy to think about gathering and analysing data from electric utilities and miners of cryptoassets in a way that protects privacy in order to enable fact-based decisions on the energy and climate implications of cryptoassets. Huffman, who has advocated for closer examination of crypto mining operations, was unimpressed by the authorities&#39; explanations and admonished that he will be obliged to take action if nothing is done.Allison Clements, a fellow Democrat and commissioner at the FERC, is cited in the Bloomberg Law article as saying that grid assessments should not exclude cryptocurrency mining. It&#39;s not clear to me why a specific reliability evaluation for cryptocurrency mining, which occurs in some regions, should be segregated from general reliability planning for every given node, service territory, region, or interconnect, according to reports from Clements.Although cryptocurrency mining is on the FERC&#39;s radar, the commissioner continued that she had &#34;nothing to disclose, relating to anything coming up shortly.&#34;
