That is the Texas model... let miners drive up the average price for consumers across Texas, with the idea they will voluntarily stop mining and free up capacity when there is a power surge event. The Governor is so into free market ideology that instead of pricing capacity into the system, we are relying on private groups of miners to 'do the right thing' when needed. Meanwhile, the energy companies are seeking my permission to auto-adjust my smart thermostat to keep the miners running.
