Important new concepts utilities should consider centers around opening new generation immediately and no cost cross-customer subsidisation:

1. **Enable "build-ahead" generation**—Miners provide guaranteed demand, allowing utilities to construct new plants now.

2. **Prevent subsidization**—Mining operations take power at energization, covering costs from the outset.

3. **Reduce grid congestion**—Distributed mining load helps build transmission infrastructure gradually, aligning with future demand.

I’d never really thought about the balance of supply and demand when it comes to creating electricity. The importance of staying ahead of demand is crucial. As a supplier, you don’t want to say “sorry, we don’t have enough.”But the end users of that electricity having to fund the expansion of infrastructure for future demand is kinda whack. Teaming up with bitcoin miners makes total sense for the miners, utilities and the end users of that electricity. Thank you for this new view. 💡

Thanks for the feedback and you got it! #bitcoin and bitcoin #mining is a technology, a concept, and a benefit to society so new its usefulness beyond the bitcoin protocol is only starting to be understood.
