...and how much would it cost now to perform a 51% attack?

$500,000 per hour just for electricity and $1 billion in equipment. It's not worth it.
Back in 2014, GHash had reached something like 40% of all power and people started to complain on Twitter/FB. Then miners moved to other places. After this GHash published a PR to say they had no intention for a 51% attack.
