Bitmain is taking advantage of a closed down Alcoa plant that had a lot of available electricity. I'm sure there coming in and getting a sweet deal since manufacturing and the local coal mining facility have closed. They are speculating about 500 jobs would be brought to the local community, although the report doubts that could actually happen since these mining facilities don't require that much man power.

I'm rather amazed they haven't made an offer for the shut-down Alcoa plant south of Wenatchee WA.

Or perhaps they made an offer and Alcoa hasn't agreed to it 'cause Alcoa has been talking about "perhaps" reopening that particular plant.
