Is "free" power over time?  I am lucky enough to have access to copious amounts of electricity that cost me nothing, and figure I could run at least 10,000 MH/s before running into any limitation.  All climate controlled, secure, and wired up the hilt. 

I am just wondering if anyone has done the math.

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

Hence the scare quotes around free.

I am not stealing anything....I have been given permission to utilize the infrastructure. 

If anyone has anything constructive to add in terms of competitive advantage, I am all ears.
