Between Childress and Quanah- Bitcoin has bought property.

[Lynn21]

Near the community of Kirkland, next to the Kirkland Cemetery. Anybody know any details? My lease is near there.

Interesting!

Probably a Bitcoin mining operation. Someone is building one near Abilene as well. Wind and solar electricity is the attraction.

I know someone else that has a lease due west of Quanah. Good area.

[The Gipper]

Its supposed to be a crypto mining facility

Its supposed to be a crypto mining facility

And these facilities use enough power per month, to power 25,000 homes per month.

They are moving here acause power is cheap.

There is already one at the old Alcoa plant in Rockdale. Only one building now but is the largest user of electricity in the county. When it's finished it will use more than the rest of the county combined is what I hear.

Overall I believe bitcoin is chinese (communist) whale controlled and a resource dump/waste… it detracts from actual tangible use of power and production of physical product. It will aid to the cost of US energy to become sequentially higher in cost. A bit of a double or triple or quadruple whammy.

Now potentially adding to increasing land costs. Quintuple whammmy?

Ive a friend investing in leasing less than desireable gas wells, tapping to generators and plopping down premade bitcoin mining ISO containers for bitcoin generation. I like the idea of redirecting flare off for bitcoin production but use of clean power for mining … bitcoin is a resource dump and misdirection of wealth…IMO.

This could very well be true.

Anybody know anything about the one I posted about on this thread?

[Abctx]

There is a huge solar farm to the east of Childress. My guess is they will take advantage of the energy source, there.

[Hoggslayer]

Probably not, but that's not going to stop us from giving you our opinion on it.

[Dale Moser]

I wish they'd shut all that crap down. It's all smoke and mirrors and is going to end up costing us all a bunch of money.


Quadruple the cost of their power.... **** them!

How the heck can your power grid support these places ?
