New era for bitcoin.

New era for bitcoin mining.

Yet another sustainability magazine covers bitcoin mining: this time MARA’s wind farm purchase.

Interesting purchase. I wonder what the maintenance costs will be like. I guess they think it's a good deal. Though I did read that there's a lot of competition with AI for energy, maybe that's why they took this route?

Yes that’s a big reason. The wind farm is still in the grid interconnection queue so it’s ideally suited to older bitcoin mining rigs doing intermittent mining

Oh so it's not connected to the grid? They must have got it for a good price
