Ep. 54 Nuclear Bitcoin Mining with Lumerra

Hey everyone, welcome to this week’s release of the Watts & Blocks Podcast, powered by Giga Energy.

This week on the show I had the pleasure of sitting down with Sean Lawrie, the CSO and Principal at Lumerra. This was an especially fun conversation for me because Sean and I are really passionate about the same topics and both looking for ways to help usher bitcoin mining into utility companies.

Right out of the gate we get to hear about Sean’s experience working with nuclear power plants explaining that bitcoin mining is a huge opportunity that they need to be evaluating, and we get into all sorts of discussion about how this was received and how different utilities are evaluating this opportunity.

Sean rounds out the conversation walking us through what his new company is doing and how Lumerra is helping re-shape the training industry for utility companies and why that’s important. Sean and I had a bunch of fun on this episode and I would expect a round 2 in the very near future.
