The United Kingdom is looking for a creative solution to excess wind energy.

The plan is to use Scotland’s surplus electricity to mine $BTC .

The Bitcoin Policy Institute’s idea is to reduce the millions of dollars the country pays to curtail generation when there’s too much energy.

Basically, they want to put what’s currently being wasted to work mining crypto and save the system around $1.3 billion.

It’s an unusual move for managing the electricity grid.

What do you think of this use for surplus energy?
