Small modular nuclear reactors mining bitcoins for localities around the world could be the fastest path toward an energy transition. Bitcoin mining does not need the energy to be transmitted to any place, nor have it stored for later use, key challenges with scaling renewable energy technologies today. Small modular reactors are easier to build on an industrial scale, just like smartphones.
