Business-Hostile NY State Seeks to Ban Fossil Fuel Bitcoin Mining

New York State has become aggressively hostile to any business remotely connected to fossil fuels. NY is openly prejudiced and discriminates against oil and natural gas companies. Increasingly the state is rejecting “bitcoin miners” that use natural gas (or God forbid, coal) to produce electricity to power some serious computers (see Upstate NY Bitcoin Miner Defies Enviro-Left, Operates NatGas Plant). Some NY lawmakers, in league with radical environmentalists, are pushing for a three-year moratorium on permits for power plants that burn fossil fuels to mine bitcoin. If this anti-business measure passes, NY would stand alone among all 50 states in opposing new bitcoin mining operations.
