一个行业机构周三宣布，德克萨斯州的主要比特币采矿设施在本月早些时候因高温引发用电量增加而导致停电后已恢复运营。
据消息人士透露，由于气温升高导致当地人几乎全天候使用空调，导致用电量大幅增加，运营商停止了挖矿业务。

SATO 的联合创始人、董事长兼首席执行官 Romain Nouzareth 表示：
“控制你所在的电网是至关重要的……我们追求性能，我们通过清洁能源和我们管理计算机的方式来获得性能，通过做一件事让它们工作——每 10 分钟将我们的数字资产固定在石头上。”
孤星州的周末高温打破了长期保持的记录，因为灼热的热浪记录了三位数的温度。
由于周二德克萨斯州中部的气温达到 110°F，该州的电力系统运营商发出警告称，接下来几天“可能”会出现轮流停电，并要求消费者和企业减少能源消耗。
德克萨斯区块链委员会主席 Lee Bratcher 报告说，截至几天前，所有矿工都已恢复在线。他说，得克萨斯州电力可靠性委员会已恢复正常运营，电网过剩容量超过3000兆瓦。
与此同时，数以千计的比特币矿机正在从中国运往德克萨斯州的途中，作为数月迁移的一部分，德克萨斯州州长格雷格·阿博特将争取比特币行业作为其 2022 年连任努力的核心。
得克萨斯州将在加密货币领域发挥重要作用，因为中国政府推动比特币采矿业务搬迁或转入地下，从而使德克萨斯人能够利用中国错失的机会。

关闭释放了 1,000 兆瓦的电力，约占该州电网总容量的 1%。
总的来说，得克萨斯州——截至 2020 年人口约为 2900 万——仍然是比特币矿工感兴趣的地方，因为在中国去年禁止该行业之后，美国继续作为世界上最大的比特币挖矿中心占据主导地位。
目前，美国正在研究各种可能为比特币采矿业指明方向的立法方案。白宫已经授权一项关于比特币挖矿对气候影响的研究。
