Crypto mine comes to Indiana and major polluting coal plant stays open

Crypto mine comes to Indiana and major polluting coal plant stays open

Probably is allowing the plant to be used for peaking -- when grid demand surges, the bitcoin mining can be quickly stop and the power sent to the grid. It's kind of a win-win for the power plant operator -- they get a decent guaranteed price for electricity sales 24-7 and when demand peaks they can sell their power to the grid at peak price. Maybe not so good for the neighbors breathing in the pollution or the climate though.
