An American mining company has opened a data center in #Argentina to mine #bitcoin using energy from 🔥 burning associated gas.
This would power 1,200 #ASIC miners from a thermal power plant, which would burn gas that would have been burned anyway, and its heat would wastefully heat the atmosphere, exacerbating the 🌳greenhouse effect.
We previously reported that the coal company 🔨 mined 425 $BTC , also using its own surplus energy. It seems that green mining is becoming a trend.
