<p>I live in an area where electricity is really cheap, I'm talking 0.003 USD per kilowatts/hour. I've searched myself around internet apparently it takes 15 000 kilowatts/hour of power to mine a bitcoin, however that information I believe is outdated since hashes have significantly increased from last year and especially since last two weeks, so if someone could do the math I'd appreciate it. </p>
