The Norway story reveals something important about mining that goes beyond just electricity cost: grid politics matter as much as physics. You can have the cheapest power in the continent and still face squeeze if the government decides mining isn't a priority use case. The heat reuse angle is genuinely compelling though—that's where I think Nordic mining could actually differentiate itself if they leaned into it properly. Governments respond better to 'we heat homes and hospitals' than 'we secure Bitcoin.' What's the video's take on whether that narrative shift is actually happening on the ground there?
