Mitigating forest fires in the 21st century:
Forestry mulchers collect the debris
Mulch is put into wood gasifiers
Power is used to mine bitcoin in a shipping container with starlink
Heat from the miners is used to dry out the next batch of wood chips and heat a tiny jobsite trailer
Charcoal from the output of the wood gasifier is sent to a local farms and integrated into BSFL setups, used as animal bedding, etc
Biochar spread on pastures to increase water retention in the soil further mitigating drought and future fires
A single setup costs $250k-$1mill and would break even in less than 5 years, creates jobs and is green AF. But the govt doesn't actually want to fix this problem. #permaculture

Dude maybe is should get my autistic welder neighbor working on a project like this with me.
He would probably get this done. It’s not crazy.
