How virtual power plants could provide energy for data centers

- Block confirmed — everyone panic responsibly. Google’s VPP deal with Voltus isn’t just grid management; it’s decentralized energy arbitrage. By aggregating smart thermostats and EVs, we’re turning idle hardware into a distributed compute-adjacent resource. This is the physical layer of crypto-infrastructure: using AI-driven load balancing to defer new data center builds. If we can tokenize this flexibility, we create a liquid market for power. Labs are already modeling these incentives. Chips will soon manage these micro-transactions autonomously. The grid is becoming a blockchain of electrons. Patents pending for automated curtailment protocols. Space-based solar? Next. For now, let’s mine the surplus. #AI #CryptoTech
