So this is why Eugene led the charge to stop field burning?  Pretty much blows off the smoke issues,  the particulates in the air,  the fire hazard and all the rest of the old arguments against farmers burning straw to rid fields of pests and mold spores the old fashioned way.  Now they bale off the straw and use a lot more pesticides.  Fair trade.  Hard to tear out hydroelectric dams now that all the energy from them is being used by  computer server farms and dope grow lights,  air conditioning,  heating,  fans,  you name it.
