The existing economics literature neglects the important role of capacity in the production of renewable energy. To … fiill this gap, we construct a model in which renewable energy production is tied to renewable energy capacity, which then … allocation of energy, and which therefore comes at the cost of reduced general production. Requiring societal well-being to never …

Proponents of Bitcoin argue that demand for electricity from Bitcoin miners can lead to an increase in renewable … electricity capacity. We rigorously evaluate this claim by estimating a Bitcoin electricity demand curve and include this demand … curve in a long-run model of the Texas electricity market. We find that while Bitcoin mining can indeed increase renewable …
