People say that mining Bitcoins takes massive amounts of electricity, could it be that, or perhaps those ‘cultivating’ a cash crop to earn ten thousand per loft full, tax free and still claim all be nefits?
Seems a lot of power cuts nowadays, so must be a reason?
I would wager the latter IF either is the cause. Could be ground movement breaking cables, but with all the houses being built overloads will become frequent soon.
