Wind farm for feeding computers with energy
Despite the revolutionary Bitquin and other encrypted currencies, digital inventions are very bad news for the environment. In a report to The Independent newspaper, by the end of 2017, when the mania of the Betquin had reached its peak, the processing power needed by the computer for mining and processing increased until its estimated annual consumption reached 30 TWh, equivalent to the consumption of the whole of Morocco.The report adds that a new company working on the technology of the Blockkin called Soluna Technologies, the adoption of a wind farm, producing 900 megawatts of energy, in the Dakhla region, Western Sahara, to provide energy for its computer operations, and described this farm as a possible model to supply computers with the necessary renewable energy To conduct its operations on the technique of the future Balucchin
Why choose the city of Dakhla Morocco?
"We have a goal at Soluna, which is to provide abundant green energy efficiently," executive director John Belizier told The Independent newspaper. "Dakhla is one of the most promising areas in renewable energy generation in the world. So it is the ideal place for our main location. " The farm will extend to about 36,000 acres of desert, an area classified as high-efficient wind, and the farm will help the country achieve its goal of producing 52% of its electricity from clean sources before 2030
