The energy companies are against carbon neutrality and fixing the problems they caused.

The issue with biofuel I can think of is it still produces waste gasses (but does reduce overall waste and might redirect some but landfill is normally compacted well to do that too - the waste normally isn't allowed to breathe for long).

I was looking into using renewables for crypto mining and it looks like they might pay higher than directly connecting them to the grid (for smaller sized operations) as the power companies normally only offer half the price of the electricity in return while it's generated (although that was taken from solar and I was looking into wind). That being said, at $400-2k a miner and $3-6k a wind turbine to power it there's probably a reason there aren't that many people doing it.
I believe it's not only about cheap electricity.. it's also more about creating a sustainable system.
A system which can address not only out current waste management and energy needs but future needs as well.
Tons of waste end up in sea, microplastics have already made their way to human fetus.

My point is if make our waste useful, we will have a sustainable and clean future and bitcoin can be a great tool to do that
