- Basin Creek Solar Project
- solar project
- one of the largest, if not the largest, in the US, if approved
- $250 million
- 300 MW
- $250 / 300 = $800,000 / MW
- Madison River Equity LLC
- parent company manages Atlas Power, a cryptomining outfit
- county planning board to begin discussion, June 17, 2021
- 1,600 acres (2.5 sections; about the size of a drilling unit in the Bakken)
- could power 40,000 homes
- entire county has about 14,000 homes
- cryptomining would only require 75 MW; the rest would be sold
- Atlas has previously mined bitcoin but is now looking at mining ethereum so it can use GPU processors instead of the power-hot ASIC machines
Nvidia: uses GPU processors
ASIC mining machines: designed to mine only one type of cryptocurrency; link here;
