Disclosure:
I currently have a personal data center on my property with 96 × 220V plugs in a 288-square-foot space. I’m no longer using it for cryptocurrency mining. It’s used for emergency food storage, a gun vault, pic.x.com/p43PeNSJLWnd home office space.
2. Thank you for asking about my opinion on data centers. I appreciate the opportunity to share my perspective based on real-world experience.
For three years I held a contract inside the data center on Joe White Avenue, where I was actively mining cryptocurrency. That hands-on time gave me a clear understanding of how these facilities operate and just how much electricity they consume.
The single best example of how data centers should be done right comes from a company called TeraWulf. They don’t just build data centers—they understand the electrical grid at a deep level. The key is simple: you only locate a data center in areas that are easily accessible by main power lines. You pre-buy electricity and lock in contracts for available power before you ever turn on a single server. You don’t drop a massive facility into a high-demand zone that already lacks capacity. That forward-thinking approach is exactly why TeraWulf has been so successful.
They also actively monitor peak-hour demand and certain weather conditions, then deliberately reduce their power usage during those high-stress periods. In short, responsible data centers only consume electricity that is actually available, and they have the flexibility to source it from different parts of the grid at different times of the year.
As I have stated before, I completely disagree with peak hours. We should not have them. Period.
Bottom line: If data centers are managed responsibly—with the same grid intelligence that TeraWulf demonstrates—I am fully okay with them. But if they are poorly planned, ignore grid realities, or fail to respect available electricity supply, then I am not okay with them.
I’m always happy to discuss this further or answer any specific questions you may have about energy infrastructure in our area.
MY knowledge of data centers is extensive.

Throwback to my days pioneering the largest crypto mining operation in South Carolina – building American innovation from the ground up! As a proud conservative Republican fighting for less regulation and more freedom in blockchain, I’m reaching out to @brian_armstrong at @coinbase: Let’s team up! Need some @FairShakePAC support to keep crypto thriving and America leading. #CryptoFreedom #MAGA #Throwback

We Dump Lindsey this June 9.
But then what?
Just voting NO on a bunch of bad bills?
While it is true that, in contrast to many of the representatives and Senators in DC, I will actually read legislation, and that I will then vote NO on most (all?) of it, that's not where it pic.x.com/CFTIvX6DeFk me, "But how will you be different? What can one man do?"
And it's a fair question.
Well, my answer to that is similar to how Ron Paul would answer the question.
Not only will I vote NO on bad bills...
I will do something virtually NO ONE in DC is doing right now.. and that is this:
I will never stop using my voice to bring attention to Failed, Bought-and-Sold, RINOs in GOP leadership ...
who continuously put Americans in situations where they have to accept budget legislation that fund America's own demise!
For example, on the recent budget bills, I would have Voted NO on the rule to advance the massive omnibus spending bill.
Why?
Because it includes excessive foreign aid and wasteful programs.
At the same time, it blocks key America First priorities.
Ridiculous provisions funded:
> $5B+ for refugee cash benefits, health care, daycare, and job programs on U.S. taxpayers.
> $315M to the CIA’s propaganda branch, which censors and attacks conservative media.
> $3.3B + $500M extra to Israel.
- $1.5B to Egypt.
- $2.1B to Jordan.
- ~$700M for foreign HIV/AIDS programs.
Similar to Thomas Massie, I'd join in offering Critical America First amendments -- Amendments GOP leaders blocked.
✓Prevent government “kill switch” in personal vehicles.
✓Freeze funds for “daycare fraud.”
âś“Close FISA loopholes for warrantless surveillance of Americans.
âś“Stop State Dept/USAGM from propagandizing U.S. citizens.
âś“Block creation of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) for financial control.
âś“ Include the SAVE Act to protect elections from illegal alien voting.
I would also push to DEFUND the failed DOJ as long as if fails to execute basic functions it is tasked with.
And, most importantly -- and this is key -- you'd never hear the end from me on the changes needed in the law making process and procedures the failed leaders in BOTH the House and Senate have refused to enact.
This is the key point. The process in D.C. is broken. And it's not broken on ACCIDENT.
They have broken it on PURPOSE so they can protect their REAL bosses.
You see, there is a magic word in DC.
That word is CONSTITUENT.
You've probably heard it before.
But it doesn't mean what you THINK it means.
The REAL constituents in DC aren't the voters.
The dirty secret in DC is that the REAL constituents are MEMBERS OF INDUSTRY.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, former Maj. Ldr Mitch McConnell, current Whip John Cornyn, and Sen. Maj. Ldr. John Thune all know this.
And I refuse to let them off the hook. They've forgotten whom they work for.
I will find every microphone in town and blow the whistle every day on the broken system, and the failed GOP that refuses to pick up and manage the business of the American people in a serious way.
These are my promises to you.
When I join the U.S. Senate, we will be a serious country once again.
This June, we Dump Lindsey.
Next January, we get back to being a serious country again.
