Texas seemed like it would be the promised land when China banned the use ofCryptocurrencies. One of the most liberal regulatory regimes forcryptocurrencies was offered by the state and it gave businesses a profit margin comparable to the luxury industry.

The mining machines are plugged into the grid. Every home in Houston will be powered by up to six gigawatts of demand from the state operator.
