Can crypto mining ever be green, or will it always be a big contributor to fossil fuel emissions? On the second episodeGetting Warmer With Kal Penn, we meet “crypto cowboy” Justin Ballard, who claims Bitcoin mining can stabilize the delicate Texas power grid while using up surplus energy.
Justin Ballard, co-founder of Jai Energy, speaks during the Empower Energizing Bitcoin conference in Houston in 2022. Ballard tells Kal Penn that he’s found a way to make Bitcoin mining work with the Texas power grid while helping reduce emissions.
