Small time Chinese operators stealing electircity is conceptually not that different from US students using 'free' dorm electricity to run small scale farms (especially during winter).

Nothing new to see here. Move along in an orderly fashion.

And this oil magically turns into electricity without any employees to pay?  and what of the wear on the generators?

You sound very fancy indeed when you say things like 'do the maths' - but your actual math is totally bogus. 

Chinese energy producers don't pay for environmental controls like US producers so they fuck the planet at the expense of everyone when they are busy putting other miners out of business, miners who have to pay for environmentally controlled energy production.

Look Franky - I like you.  You are one of the good guys.  You are just wrong on this point.  Those dirty fucking spitting Chinese fuckers are burning up the planet to get ahead in mining. 

You have to quit smoking crack Franky. 

big farms like btcc are definitely not using solar/renewables.  Solar has not yet reached grid parity ANYWHERE under any circumstance.  That is all a dreamers wish. 

The only farm to use renewable was KnC (geothermal).  They went totally broke doing that because it was expensive energy.  They said upon their exit "We've done the maths, even the Chinese farms will be unprofitable" (that is actually true that they said this).  The thing KnC wasn't considering is that the Chinese weren't buying electricity at any price, they were stealing it. 

Saudi Arabia doesn't do shit.  Just a bunch of fucking camel's wandering about the desert.  Some weird guys in tents.  About 300 princes wrecking Mercedes by drifting them around is about the only energy waste going on there.  Why do you hate the Saudi's so much? 

Maybe the oil FROM Saudi is fucking up the planet, but it isn't the Saudi's who are wasting energy. 

your research about the world seems to be outdated by 50 years.
if you think saudi's live in tents. its time you update yourself

not really a 'farm' lol.. 50 asics vs 125,000 asics.. is small fry (hobbiest)

12 hobbiests totalling 1000 units is not enough reason to call out a country of 1.35BILLION people as corrupt

i bet i can find atleast 12 people in america stealing electric (out of 318mill) so should we call ALL americans corrupt
4200 Philadelphians stealing electric

The attitude of the miners whom took free electric with illegal ways will makes bad image for bitcoins and other miners, also comunity of bitcoins or related bitcoin.
They didn't thinking about that, You are right These people are just manage to feed themselves. without thinking bitcoin's future.
And The other people who want make bitcoin growing up.
