The Rise of “Green Mining”

A new wave of miners is experimenting with “green mining hubs” that only run when renewable energy is abundant. In this model, mining becomes a flexible buyer of extra electricity, switching off during peak demand. Advocates claim it stabilizes grids and monetizes wasted energy, while skeptics argue it can still encourage overbuilding and distract from cleaner uses. The debate is shaping how crypto’s energy story is told.
