Food waste is a gold mine if you can build the systems to collect it and extract the value. Food shortages might put a dent in this though
Composting - New soil creation
Biodigesters - electricity creation
Fermentation - alcohol based cleaning producta
Many cities are enforcing composting programs but there's limited infrastructure in place to ensure clean product and end markets. Nothing gets recycled unless there's a market for it. Waste companies are paying to dump this stuff.

Here's a love note for anyone that didn't get one today ๐๐งก๐
Can you convert the waste heat from asics into electricity and use that waste heat to power smaller machines? Like an ASICs chain
Some thoughts on the Ohio chemical situation
Regardless of whether its foul play or not, it still creates a large problem. My biggest concern is a long term contamination of the soil and food & water supply (and obviously the suffering it creates for people in the region that I'm sure big pharma has a ~cure for). Just viewing it as a another problem that needs solved.
Short term - could deep wells be drilled to give people access to clean drinking water? Is there anyone working on indoor vertical farming operations / greenhouses? There's plenty of warehouses and old industrial buildings in the area that could be repurposed. And noshortafge of people that know how to grow things. You could control or import healthy soil, avoid any acidic rains if it becomes an issue, and yield more food/acre if you use multiple floors. Mining could be a great way to subsidize electricity costs of heating the building.
Longer term - I'm no mycologist but I've heard that people are using certain fungi species to decontaminate glyphosate infected land. Could a similar concept be applied to surrounding areas to clean up the soil?
