Alexandra DaCosta is the CEO and a founding member of Aspen Creek Digital Corporation, whose mission is to catalyze the decarbonization of power generation by creating the world’s leading renewable Bitcoin mining operator.
ACDC designs, develops, builds, owns and operates its own data centers that are powered by renewable energy sources such as solar fields.
Alexandra and Andy discuss the Bitcoin Mining industry and the various initiatives promoting clean, green Bitcoin mining for a more sustainable future for the most important alternative asset - Bitcoin.
The conversation touches on the perception of Bitcoin mining as an energy consumer but emphasizes the value that cryptocurrencies bring to society.
DaCosta also addresses concerns about Bitcoin mining's energy consumption, pointing out that it is not as significant as some may believe and that miners are often using renewable energy sources. He suggests that Bitcoin miners could be a valuable asset in promoting grid flexibility and transitioning towards more sustainable power sources.
The podcast discusses the future of renewable energy in the US and the role of bitcoin mining in clean energy. Alexandra believes that there is a bright future for renewables, and it's important to focus on standing up new renewable power sources rather than debating who should be in charge. She also sees a place for nuclear power and thinks batteries will be a game-changer for grid stability.
