    In theory: if you are charging at proper (optimally tiered) rates and have the capacity to support it, there is no problem allowing people to run a mining farm. In fact, this is why most crypto mining farms aren’t actually economically viable and a lot of it is based off of finding rentals with “included” power bills and the like.

    But this is texas so gotta lower prices on your half busted grid to encourage people to move in and destroy the environment.
