Texas crypto mines outpace two major cities

Crypto mining in Texas now uses more electricity than all the homes in San Antonio and El Paso combined—over 14.7 million megawatt-hours last year alone. That’s about 3% of the state’s total power, and it’s sparking debate as the grid faces record demand. Some say crypto mines are flexible and use surplus energy, but others worry about noise, disruption, and the risk of blackouts.
