According to Visual Capitalist, "It takes an estimated 1,449 kilowatt hours (kWh) of energy to mine a single bitcoin. That’s the same amount of energy an average U.S. household consumes in approximately 13 years." Enter Nodal Power, a revolutionary company that develops and operates landfill gas-powered plants. These power plants collect methane gas from organic material in landfills and turns it into energy that helps power Nodal data centers and, when needed, the local electrical grid. Learn how methane gas can help power your home and how it can help mine crypto along the way.
