The President of El Salvador shared a plan of Bitcoin mining powered by volcanic renewable energy currently under construction in the country. El Salvador is about to get a clean hash rate.El Salvador has 23 active volcanoes, and the thermal energy beneath the surface can generate powerful steam that can generate electricity. Despite being the smallest country in Central America, El Salvador is one of the largest producers of geothermal energy in the world. In fact, geothermal power stations account for a quarter of the country's total power generation. In the future, this tropical country may attract miners from all over the world to mine.

I read that El Salvador actually was the most industrialized country in the entire region, until the civil war happened. Admittedly I do not really know much about the history there but when this news came out it reminded me about a question I used to ask before, like why don't these countries use their geothermal energies better? I know even in my region the most that happens is a tourist attraction but we have so much energy below our earth, imagine if we could tap it better.
