The project is part of El Salvador's efforts to become a global leader in renewable energy production and Bitcoin adoption. The country has the highest level of geothermal energy production in Central America and recently became the first nation to make Bitcoin legal tender. Tether said it is excited to be among the first investors and advisors of the project and to support El Salvador's vision of innovation and sustainability.
"Volcano Energy" is also a response to the criticism that Bitcoin mining is wasteful and harmful to the environment. According to Tether, more than half of Bitcoin mining is done using renewable energy sources and this percentage will increase significantly in the future through investments like theirs.I've been writing about Bitcoin since 2014.
