*** For Bitcoin Mines in Texas, the Honeymoon Is Over
*** The energy demands of bitcoin mining have sparked controversy in a state that once welcomed those companies with open arms.

(*097dfbf6*):: “Bitcoin Mines” are just datacenters. They’re complaining about the kind of computers in a datacenter because mining bitcoin is political activity. Nobody complains about other Texas datacenters with random customers, which can get to 500MW a pop. Plus our grid is stymied by the Feds because they won’t let us build more power plants that are worth a damn. They are sabotaging our grid using eco-commie lawfare. The rest of the country hates that we have our own grid, lol. Always making up reasons to piss on it. Fuck ’em. +public!
