@npub1n3sj...te5l explains something most people don’t know about landfills: they leak methane constantly, and methane traps heat far more effectively than CO2. Bitcoin miners have started showing up at those sites. Capture the gas, burn it in generators, use the electricity to mine. The methane was venting either way. Now there’s a buyer for it.
