Not really, I'm suggesting they sell more power to India which is what they do already. They can do that by lowering the price per kWh.

> You’re saying Bhutan should build a smart grid for EVs rather than run a Bitcoin mining operation? I think that’s kinda ridiculous.

Not just EVs, there's plenty of things you can make demand-responsive. Do something - anything - with it. Electrolyze water for hydrogen. Electric smelters. Power for a data center! The world is your oyster.
