Would it be possible to take the extra heat from mining and the co2 to make a really nice greenhouse that can use the co2, seems like plenty of space to make it happen in montana.

- LegitShady 5y agoThat's not why they're called greenhouse gasses, though. They create the greenhouse effect for the entire planet.
- formvoltron 5y agoThe planet will die, but at least we have these nice plants and these coins.
- holbrad 5y agoHate to be picky. But the planet is going to be just fine, for a very long time. Unless global warming triggers a nuclear war, humans as a species are also going to be fine.
