Huh? ERCOT might like the idea in the short run, but as the article points out the opacity of the mining operations actually makes forecasting demand and supply harder over time, since unlike 1 million houses in a heat wave the mines can just switch on (or off) instantly. States need to regulate these operations the way they do generators or batter storage failciities, which they dwarf in size.
