Actually I think the idea of forcing crypto miners to use nuclear is brilliant. My proposal would require that they pay the full cost that nuclear charges to the grid, and also that they aren’t allowed to purchase power from any fossil sources or grid-connected renewables. I’m not sure this idea would be long-term economically sound but it would remove the major objection to crypto mining (carbon emissions) and if the crypto miners go out of business due to proof-of-stake becoming more common, they’ll hopefully have funded the construction of new nuclear plants for the rest of us.
