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

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
