In my early 20s I made monthly donations to Greenpeace, because I love our planet and I thought I was making a difference. Increasingly I’m learning how compromised charitable organizations can be, how padded their exec salaries are, and how little actually goes to tackling the root cause of the problem – perpetuating an ever-increasing need for funding.

My company MintGreen is helping cities fund clean energy infrastructure and reducing CO2 emissions to the tune of 1800 tons per MW each year through heat recovered from #Bitcoin mining.

The world needs you, so don’t be afraid to get out there and get the job done yourself πŸ˜˜πŸ’šβ›οΈπŸŒŽ #bethechange #fuckgreenpeace

Thank you for your work. Amazing what you are doing, esp the whisky distillery.

This is an amazing application of waste heat recovery, and use. Well done!!

I understand you are possibly beholden to VCs, and have to partake in the carbon accounting gymnastics.

For someone who appreciates you reducing waste through practical engineering I am greatly more excited about how much electricity you generated, how much 🌽 was mined, by how much did you increase the efficiency of the whiskey process cycle? How about the refinery’s profitability increase? Did you hire local people do build, and maintain?

These are *real* *impactful* things you, and your team achieved.

Co2 math is fiat accounting, which will not pass the test of time.

Hi elsat πŸ‘‹πŸ» We are recovering >96% of the energy used for mining to heat municipal water. By subsidizing the cost of electric heating, it becomes economically feasible for more cities and businesses to supplant their legacy gas boiler systems. It also opens up new markets for mining around the world where energy was previously too expensive, furthering decentralization. Currently all R&D and manufacturing is taking place here in Canada πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

Thank you for all the great work you and your company do!

Yup. All of them are crap. Painful lesson to learn
