Going Off-Grid - Scott Williams (Crusoe), Brock Petersen (Satoshi Energy), Tomas Ocampo (Unblock)

Show Notes

At Presidio Bitcoin’s Type I Summit, Scott Williams (Crusoe), Brock Petersen (Satoshi Energy), and Tomas Ocampo (Unblock) dig into how to build data centers directly where power is: whether it’s solar in West Texas, flare gas in Latin America, or other stranded and wasted energy sources around the world. They discuss the shift toward bringing compute to energy (instead of the other way around), the land and labor bottlenecks slowing deployment, how much automation can help, and how new connectivity options may reshape where AI and Bitcoin infrastructure gets built next.
