This is excellent! I had no idea the extent of this situation, other than a general idea of the huge energy drain crypto creates. What a twisted loop! Thanks for your work.

That's enough power in the hands of a major foreign adversary to take down America! Who's side are you on, Texas?

Damn Nick!!! You have outdone yourself. The tease you gave with the money pool and Cruz, made me curious, but the final product is outstanding.

O.M.G. I don't live in Texas and never want to ever live in Texas. But this is incredibly a stupid thing for the Texas government to allow! They're like every other republican group - "chasing money at all costs - lives and well-being be damned and everyone else can go to hell."

Dear Nick, so glad that this will appear in Texas—somewhere. But isn’t Houston more open to Democratic (sane!) thought? Hope the Chronicle is read elsewhere in that hopeless state.

And let us not forget what Crypto's main use is: money laundering for criminals, such as the Russian mob and sex-worker trafficking.

Crypto mines are extremely loud. There is one in Washington County Tn that locals have sued for a couple of years. Can't touch them. Too bad about those property values.
