 Mining pros, what's your take? Is this more #Bitcoin FUD, or legit?

 There doesn't seem to be much unique about mining operations. Conceivably any Chinese investment in close proximity to a data center would arise a similar "espionage" concern. 

The article pairs that with basic energy FUD and preys on the average reader's grid illiteracy to create a full blown hit piece. IMO
