Description

Oil above $100, Qatar's LNG infrastructure in ruins, and a 150-year-old grid buckling under AI-era demand: Sean Murray breaks down why energy has an L1 problem and how Fuse is building the crypto-native fix. 🔥 EPISODE LINK 🔥 👉 https://unchainedcrypto.com/bits-bips/bits-bips-grid-congestion-is-energys-l1-problem-this-crypto-company-has-a-solution👈 ======================================================================== Sponsor: 👉 Multichain Advisors is an emerging technology growth firm that has helped create over $50 billion in enterprise value for 80+ clients.

But the real story starts with the grid itself. European gas prices are running 50-70% above normal. Multi-billion dollar LNG facilities damaged in recent attacks could take years to repair. And a power grid designed 150 years ago is buckling under AI data centers, EVs, and renewables it was never built to handle. Sean Murray, Fuse Energy's crypto lead, joins Steven Ehrlich to lay out why an estimated $70 billion in clean energy has been wasted because the grid can't move it, why that congestion problem mirrors crypto's own L1 scalability crisis, and how coordinating millions of smart home devices through a token-incentivized network could fix it.
