The global bitcoin mining economy consumes nearly $500 million in electrical and operational costs. Moreover, it’s estimated the bitcoin network could use as much electricity as Denmark by the year 2020.

I have looked into this too and besides making coin from Mining, you can heat your office or house with the excess energy, super cool.

If you have clean energy available to you, this is definitely a smart choice.

How come I can't use the login here to comment on the article? And how come the article missed the most important bit?? We're not far from the point where the primary business shifts from mining to renewable energy, the electricity is sold during high demand periods and used for mining off-peak. Renewable energy and smart grids are hitting a lot of headlines at the mo but most of it's a load of trendy middleman crap, the big bang is a little way off yet and cryptocurrency is its catalyst.
