13 A: Reducing flares to 0 w/ P. Cockerham
Block Height: 804394
I spoke to Paul Cockerham, Partner at Verdemining. He and I are talking about their flared gas operations in the south of the US. He goes into the technical detail of the different stages the gas is going through before it's turned into electricity and heat. Some exciting details, that I am sure you are not aware of when it comes to utilising ASICs this way.

After another break, Ryan joins me for an interview. He works at a Canadian nuclear research facility and is an expert in this field. Of course, I had to bring him on to talk about the current state of nuclear energy, small modular reactors (SMRs) and the combination of those technologies with Bitcoin Mining.
Really enjoyed making this and hope you enjoy listening just as much!
