What Crypto mining is doing to Granbury,TX. Interesting video!

Very interesting. We should make these Bitcoin companies build desalinization plants to convert sea water to the fresh water they are using to cool the super computers. We need to protect our electric rates from raising also.

luannski : this is a bit misleading, the old quaint downtown square "Granbury" started changing around 2000 when people from the northside of DFW started building weekend homes there around the lake. The place now has more weekenders than locals.

teatime :
My sisters in laws lived on the lake right before the bridge years ago. We would have so much fun on the lake and could easily walk to the town square.

ZMAN: so break it down…. What are you thinking is going to happen?

This isn't too surprising. Texas paid Riot (another bitcoin mining outfit) millions to curtail power usage during heatwaves. www.cnbc.com/amp/202 3/09/06/texas-paid-b itcoin-miner-riot-31 point7-million-

This is so wrong. Those places should not be allowed on the consumer grid. If they can't develop their own solar or wind or passive energy generation they don't operate. It's just nuts. It's not even real money. It's only valuable because we all agree it has some value as payment for goods and services. Monopoly money. It can crash at any second. Total insanity to me.

luannski -they need to provide their own power separate from the public.
