In this video, I discuss two ways in which Bitcoin miners can help to prevent the unnecessary venting or flaring of natural gas and landfill methane gas.

In these and many other ways, Bitcoin mining and the proof of work consensus mechanism serve other useful purposes besides securing value globally in a neutral and decentralized manner-- beyond the control of central bankers and politicians.

Bitcoin miners often use stranded or otherwise unused energy. Bitcoin miners are incentivized to seek out the cheapest energy available, which many times ends up being renewable energy or energy that would otherwise be wasted.

No other industry is as portable or flexible as Bitcoin mining.

Those who decry its energy usage have no problems with energy being used to power clothes dryers, server farms, the US banking system, or global warfare.
