Miners are leaving China under government pressure and moving equipment to other regions. The era of China’s dominance in this industry can be considered over, said Alejandro de la Torre, Poolin’s vice-president, in a ForkLog commentary.<\/p>\n
The main destinations for migration are the United States, Canada and Kazakhstan. Although the latter is already ‘packed to capacity’, noted de la Torre.<\/p>\n
According to him, in the United States the most attractive electricity tariffs are offered in Texas, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio and Wyoming. Poolin itself is considering sites in North Carolina.\u00a0<\/p>\n
