I've been pretty interested in stranded energy lately (or energy that doesn't have a market buyer).

I was looking into what are called peaker plants in the US, small power plants that run in shoulder seasons to help balance things, but it sounds like their permitting prevents them from generating for commercial purposes.

I could almost be convinced that the future of bitcoin mining is mostly stranded energy or maybe more broadly waste energy. What are some of the most creative energy sources used to power bitcoin mining that you've come across?
