That is exactly the type of thing that miners that seek to capture wasted energy do.

What fraction of miners are doing this? Keep in mind this means they have to get pretty expensive equipment and leave it idle more than 80% of the time.
A large fraction because they get the energy almost for free. In Brazil they are using mining to compensate for the low viability in financial terms.
