Crypto mining to repair coal mining environmental harm

A coal plant is not only emitting large quantities of greenhouse gas, it also causes a local environmental disaster, notably because of the leftover coal waste. Acid mine drainage resulting from it pollutes rivers and threatens their aquatic life, coal waste fires destroy forests and their ecosystems… After a century of coal mining and with some of its abandoned coal mines that have been burning for over 50 years underground, people of Pennsylvania learned it the hard way.

Coal waste can be removed and used to produce electricity in an eco-responsible way (its environmental impact is assimilated to hydropower). If only there were someone willing to do it in abandoned and polluted areas… and as it happens, crypto miners do.

Stronghold Digital Mining has already reclaimed 1,000 acres of once-unusable land in Pennsylvania and with the newly raised $105 M it can continue its operations and mine crypto while restoring local waterways and vegetation.

The best news is that mining farms are location-agnostic, which means that such projects can be done all over the planet, making it greener while securing crypto networks.
