One random idea I had was to use cryptomining to “soak up” excess power: so, for example, you could build nuclear out to meet peak load and then set up mining rigs to use the difference between peak and the current load, subsidizing the cost of power production.
It’s probably a bad idea for other reasons, but it’s one way to reduce the environmental impact of PoW
