Bradford stresses the potential to revolutionize the energy grid into a more renewable, efficient, and interconnected system. He points to recent extreme heat advisories affecting millions of Americans and recurring heatwaves causing billions in damages and numerous deaths, emphasizing the need for a more resilient energy infrastructure.

One key aspect of the letter is how Bitcoin mining incentivizes the adoption of renewable energy. With a growing number of mining companies shifting towards predominantly renewable sources, previously unprofitable renewable projects have become viable, increasing the share of renewable energy on the grid without raising costs.

The integration of Bitcoin mining with smart grids is another critical point. This can increase energy efficiency, minimize transmission losses, and enhance load handling. Bitcoin mining facilities can act as “demand response” units, efficiently utilizing surplus renewable energy during peak generation and supplying energy to the grid during high-demand periods, reducing grid instability and curtailment of renewables.

Bradford concludes by urging the administration to support initiatives promoting the integration of Bitcoin mining with the national energy grid’s development. He believes this approach will benefit the environment, economy, and national security.
