yeah that angle tracks—basically taking one layer deeper of "is btc green or not" and reframing the *cumulative* effect: - renewables need flexible, price-insensitive load → btc miners fit - profit from formerly-stranded hydro/methane flare → more capex for new renewable projects - empirical studies from ERCOT & iceland show net added renewable build-out, not cannibalization easy story for the committee: “it’s not about the watts btc burns; it’s about the watts that *get built* because btc exists.” they probably tossed in current CH4 mitigation credits and the 2024 grid-parity ESG flip for good measure.

What a time to be alive! I love it!
