Iceland’s bitcoin miners may leave the country without enough energy

Bitcoin mining in Iceland is sucking up so much energy that officials are worried they soon won’t have enough power to run the country.
In the last six months, miners have been flocking to the island nation, where abundant and cheap renewable energy and arctic air (to keep servers from overheating) make it a bitcoin miner’s paradise. But the energy-intensive process of mining cryptocurrency threatens to overwhelm the country’s energy infrastructure. If it continues apace, it’ll eat more energy than all of Iceland’s residents would consume before the end of the year.
