summary

Panel claims Bitcoin mining functions as a highly flexible load that can curtail in minutes, enabling demand to follow intermittent supply and unlocking renewables. Examples: a site in West Texas sits amid about 40 GW of renewables but only 12 GW transmission, Lake Mariner joins three demand response programs, Nautilus is directly connected to Susquehanna nuclear 2.5 GW, and Sonota sells software to settle energy contracts daily to automate price‑sensitive dispatch as data center and AI demand scales.
