GHash.IO does not have any intentions to execute a 51% attack
Yeah, and that Level 18 stronghold on Game of War: Fire Age promised not to attack me either. I don't need to tell you how that worked out.

Um, won't they all leave Florida and go to live near you...?
I'm not sure about "all," because I'm not the one going to live next to that turd burglar.
How much electricity does an American home use? In 2011, the average annual electricity consumption for a U.S. residential utility customer was 11,280 kWh, an average of 940 kilowatthours (kWh) per month. Louisiana had the highest annual consumption at 16,176 kWh and Maine the lowest at 6,252 kWh.
Unfortunately, it doesn't go into details about specific usage, but from my perspective (in Florida) we use A LOT of A/C. I have a 2250-square-foot home (under A/C) and we use a lot of lights and electronics. A lot of people keep one or more home computers on 24/7, for example, and our appliances aren't usually energy-saving.
Every traffic stop is backed up by the threat of deadly force being used against you. There is always a threat from the police.
Take off your tin foil hat, this is a load of bullshit. As analogy, every time you get a donut from the bakery, there's a thread of force. After all, the baker could pull out his bread knife and come after you. Hell, he might have a concealed weapons permit and being carrying better hardware than the police. Just because police are issued weapons and the authority to arrest you doesn't make them anymore dangerous than anyone else out there. At least, the police are charged with protecting you and have the training to help make right decisions. Sure, there will be bad examples (certain racial cases come to mind), but that's not the percentage and, I'd argue, a much smaller percentage than the wacko civilians out there.
