As a keen observer of the cryptocurrency and finance landscape, I'm curious to delve deeper into the infrastructure that powers this rapidly evolving industry. Specifically, I'm wondering about the scale and distribution of crypto mining facilities in the United States. Could you provide an estimate of how many such facilities are currently operational in the country? This information would help me better understand the geographical spread and potential impact of crypto mining on the US economy and energy consumption.
