It is demonstrated that the twisting of individual coronal loops by vortical photospheric motions could supply the bulk of the power required to heat an active region, while the braiding of neighboring loops, combined with the avalanche process of Lu and Hamilton (1991), can account for the power-law dependence of flare energy. Two models of the avalanche process are presented, and the results are argued to be relevant to the processes that lead to actual flares.
