Actually, there are a hell a lot of similar farms worldwide, especially in the countries where the electricity is more expensive.

not to mention the heavier drugs, labs where they make methamphetamine for example.
if you create meth, and you are the first hand scource of it, you can get disgustingly rich.

That's kind of how you become a drug dealer, so yeah, you'd be rich. Nobody can argue there. But I was talking about expecting drugs because of power consumption. There was never drugs but feds are stupid and assume that it would be a grow operation due to high electricity demand reported to them by the company providing said electricity.

If you're gonna do drugs, fine, but if you're consuming enough electricity to power a small town, not to mention the heat (holy fuck the heat probably required even more electricity to keep the temperature levels at a minimum, I can't imagine the bill) .

They've also flagged and searched people for abnormal temperatures in the past. In countries where it snows, they'll often notice the snow on the roof is melting or similar. Usually caused by grow lights or processes requiring heat.
