Welcome back to The Mining Pod! Today, Lee Bratcher, President of the Texas Blockchain Council, joins us to talk about the newly signed Senate Bill 6 that completely overhauls interconnection and curtailment rules for large loads over 75MW on the Texas grid. We cover the four primary pillars of this legislation, why the 4CP program changes could be more consequential than other provisions, and how this affects Bitcoin miners versus AI data centers.
**Notes:**
• ERCOT expects 150GW growth by 2030 vs 120GW realistic
• 4CP minimum transmission charge could add 1¢/kWh
• 25,000MW of solar now on Texas grid vs near zero 5 years ago
• Large loads over 75MW subject to remote disconnect
• Bitcoin miners typically curtail at $100/MWh range
• Phantom load applications clog interconnection queue

Murderbot showrunners Chris and Paul Weitz join to discuss their sci-fi series’ blend of chamber thriller, workplace satire, and reluctant hero tale—all orbiting a security unit who just wants to be left alone to binge his stories. They talk robot servitude, world-building exhaustion (“every chair must be a space chair”), and how Alexander Skarsgård’s performance brings Scandinavian placidity to a roiling interior monologue. Also: the GOP goes ball(point)istic over Biden’s legal use of an autopen.
