The electricity price in Texas is not attractive for mining enterprises. I doubt it’s really true.

Bitmain is taking advantage of a closed down Alcoa plant that had a lot of available electricity. I'm sure there coming in and getting a sweet deal since manufacturing and the local coal mining facility have closed. They are speculating about 500 jobs would be brought to the local community, although the report doubts that could actually happen since these mining facilities don't require that much man power.

Would you be willing to share that location?

In order to buy on the open market you need to have a consumption of ≥ 1MW correct?

This is in Rockdale Tx. If you search for NPR Texas Standard you will see the podcast for the episode dated today.

Listening to my local NPR station here in Houston. And apparently, Bitmain will be taking over an old Alcoa factory in a small Texas town, to setup a bitcoin mining facility!  Shocked
What do you guys think of Bitmain setting up shop in Texas? Blows my mind. But then again what do I know of their reach.

Yes if you take 3 z9 mini and overclock them you can easily reach 40k. So is it 3 z9 mini glued together for the price of 4 or really 4 z9 mini?

More like 4 z9 minis glued together. Now overclock that. I'm pretty sure the z9 overclocked will do well above 40k
