what would you do if a big bitcoin mining farm opened up right next to your house and thick black smoke was billowing up and enveloping your entire property 24/7? you wouldn't like bitcoin very much in that case i can guarantee you.
I, the community around me and the state etc would sue the crap out of them regardless of that the facility is doing/producing... In short, for decades *that* kind of pollution is no longer tolerated in most countries.

These days pollution tends to be not-so-visible gaseous emissions because particulates and smells are removed. As long as they follow the rules and regulations - no problem.

Filters could cut the emissions down to acceptable levels.  But I need 25 cu ft of rubber mulch and I still prefer mulching tires 🛞 not burning them.

I don't blame them. I wouldn't want tire smoke in my neighborhood either just so some bitcoin miner can make a few bucks...
When tires are burnt, they smell so bad and from how they smell, you do not need to be told that they are Hazardous to the health when exposed to it for an extended period of time. I consider it very unsafe and the permit that these company has demanded should not be given. If the permission is given, then corruption is at work again.

Some companies do business at the expense of some communities they do the business in and do not care how their industrial waste will affect the ecosystem of the community, and the people in the community where their business is being conducted, provided they keep making profits. It is very bad.

Cleaner and more environmental friendly sources of energy can always be sort, the environment is already very damaged, we do not need to contribute more to it. This company need to know that since they are crypto related, they will receive a lot of backlash for this kind of suggestion. They need not to have created the chance for this discussion in the first place. Burning tires should never have been an option.

how do you create rubber mulch out of tires? there's more than just rubber in them. there's metal wires.

You chop them mechanically into small pieces and then pass all that through a chamber with a magnetic field, all the steel is perfectly removed, quite a simple procedure. Here is a video on it this is a small-scale operation, but the main principles are the same. Compared to how aluminium cans are sorted this is nothing.

you mean like sulfer dioxide? i heard that stuff is dangerous.

NoX and SoX, all the compounds in those two families are things you don't want to breathe.

Yeah, right, like the community will care.
The exact opposite will happen, they will start defending it with things like if they won't burn it then somebody else will so it's better if crypto miners do. Seen enough of this greenwashing happening around to know how this will turn into an textbook whataboutism defense!
