Bitcoin mining operations are becoming one of the most integral parts of robust grid systems in the 21st century right in front of our eyes.

However, this is a very nuanced topic and I caution everyone not to fall into the trap of using bitcoin's demand response capabilities to incentivize the build out of more unreliable generation.

We need more nuclear, nat gas and coal generation. Over build as much reliable base load as possible, have miners soak up the excess generation, and create an environment where the Texas grid never comes as close as it did to black outs tonight.
