MISO just greenlighted over 6 gigawatts of fresh grid capacity, and guess what's dominating the lineup? Natural gas. Not solar farms. Not wind turbines. Gas-fired plants are stealing the show while renewables get shoved to the back row.

All that decarbonization talk? Starting to sound pretty hollow when you look at what's actually getting built. The infrastructure tells a different story than the press releases.

For anyone tracking energy-hungry industries—crypto mining included—this means grid expansion is happening, but it's not exactly the "green" version everyone keeps promising. The gap between climate pledges and actual capacity additions keeps widening.
