Instead of putting a Powerline there or building a smelter or something else, Bitcoin is easier and makes more money quicker.
This is not a good thing right now this is still bad. And as soon as you have Bitcoin mining there, no one wants to underutilize it because it is inefficient. Now your miner is motivated to run even more and get more money
Do you really believe a Bitcoin miner would accept being shut down for most of the day? Nope.
