# 501.6 Lesson - strandedEnergy

**Screen:** strandedEnergy

**Headline:** Wait, are you telling me that bitcoin can be used to tap into stranded energy?

**Reward:** 5

**Text:** Exactly\*\*.\*\* Bitcoin mining provides a portable solution for utilizing energy assets in regions where there is no local demand or means of transportation. By using onsite equipment to generate hashes, it is possible to produce bitcoin, which can then be held for future value appreciation or sold on the highly liquid and globally accessible bitcoin market.

```
GET https://earn.blink.sv/chapter-501-bitcoin-criticisms-fallacies-i/501.06-lesson-stranded-energy.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
