Bitcoin soaks up most of the hype heaped on cryptocurrencies, leaving its younger and smaller sibling Ethereum in the shadows. But Ethereum is anything but small. Its market capitalisation is roughly US $10 billion, and it has an equally whopping energy footprint.

Indeed, the typical Ethereum transaction gobbles more power than an average U.S. household uses in a day.
