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

No, because goverment creates problems so we keep giving them the power they are addicted to.

Of course goverment wont engage with solutions, because goverment creates problems so we keep giving them the power they are addicted to.

This doesn't even include if you lease the land you're doing this on and feed ruminants, poultry or hogs with rotational grazing, further adding fertility to the ground and increasing revenue. Also this would help increase the fungal content of the soil further increasing its capabilities to break down detritus.

If you really want to get advanced, reserect the mammoth and give each state a small herd. Rotationally graze them in these forests and they will knock down dead trees and prune the overstory and feed local communities.

It will consume the charcoal as well if run long enough.

U will need guv & priv. contracts

mostly guv ime-inmyexp.

1 will

Great idea.

It would only work for private forests though, because of the issue you correctly identified in your closing sentance.

Yeah, even my state governments department of conservation is too retarded to realize, animal agroforestry practices benefit the woodlands more than CRP and hunting

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.
