🔖 Title: Bitcoin Miners Saved the Texas Power Grid from Collapse, But Their Lucrative Pivot to AI Is Stripping Away the Emergency Brake
🗓️ Published: 2023-07-24
📄 Summary: Texas recently broke its all-time electricity demand record twice within two days, pushing the grid to its limits. Bitcoin miners played a crucial role in averting a power grid collapse by adjusting their consumption during peak demand periods. However, as these miners shift their focus toward more profitable AI-related ventures, the grid loses a critical buffer that helped manage extreme energy loads. This pivot raises concerns about the future stability and resilience of Texas’s power supply amid growing electricity demands.
