By 2026, AI is estimated to consume 40 GW out of 96 GW in global power demand from data centers, generating heat and water usage concerns.
Bitcoin mining helps stabilize power grids as miners can adjust energy consumption in real-time, offering a second response action alongside traditional grid balance methods.
AI's inflexibility in adjusting energy usage contrasts with Bitcoin mining's ability, making it a feasible variable load solution for balancing power grids and accommodating AI data centers.
