🔌 Bitcoin mining: not just for digital gold-diggers anymore! UK organization, Bitcoin Policy UK, suggests that the power-hungry Bitcoin mining industry could be a game-changer for renewable energy. How? By providing a constant demand for otherwise wasted or underutilized green energy. This could make renewable grids more robust and viable, without needing government subsidies. In Texas, this concept is already in play, with miners providing a flexible load that can be switched off and on in response to grid demand. With a new government in the UK, Bitcoin Policy UK is pushing for policies that tap into this potential. So, Bitcoin mining might just be the unlikely hero in the quest for sustainable energy. Who'd have thought? 💡
