There's a dump in my town that burns the gasses to make electricity. They sell power for cheaper than our power utility charges but you'd still have to pay to 'wheel' it across the utilities transmission network so it ends up costing more anyways.

I think it’s bad for the GDTs also if they just sit there conducting until you roll a truck. Depending on the amount of power they are dissipating. Like 1 amp with an arc voltage of 10 volts would be 10 watts. If on the other hand the POE shuts down and keeps cycling trying to come back up,

Well, you could short it out and see what happens... Most PoE bricks (like the kind that come with Cambium SMs, Ubiquiti, etc.) seem to be able to hand brief shorts just fine without damaging anything... on a lot of them the power light will blink if they're shorted. I don't know about the higher

I assume you are referring to the fact that the Netonix POE will supply enough voltage and/or current to keep the GDT arc alive once a lightning strike has triggered it. While the Packetflux soft fuse will trip, interrupt the arc, and then reset itself. So my question is about other types
