I think so; it shows that a country can diversify its energy production methods beyond simply burning fossil fuels.
And when countries start using surplus energy to mine Bitcoin, it will become even more attractive for them to generate energy using every means at their disposal.
...until they don't.
What's the worst that could happen? We still got hydro, and that's bigger than solar or wind!
ooh, I don't know. Something about the grid collapsing and inefficient/ineffective generation.
