A bitcoin mining operation powered entirely by "green" nuclear energy has just launched in Pennsylvania. TeraWulf has announced that it will be using the Susquehanna nuclear power station to mine BTC. 
 
The key details about the project: 
 
  • Nuclear power station capacity – 2.5 GW. 
  • Fixed cost of electricity – $0.02 per kWh for five years. 
  • Planned load – 50,000 mining rigs, 160 MW. 
  • Actual load at present – 8,000 mining rigs. 
  • Computing power – 5.5 EH/s. 
 
With such a low electricity rate, this project promises to be highly profitable even in a bear market. Indeed, it's a far cry from mining BTC in a school's crawlspace!
