Mouthy Antis Demand NY Gov. Hochul Shut Down Finger Lakes Bitcoin

This is too funny. Antis are up in arms over a bitcoin operation on the edge of Seneca Lake in Upstate New York that refuses to shut down. Even though they demand it. Bitcoin miner Greenidge Generation uses a clean-burning (very small) natural gas power plant to power its 15,300 computer servers at a facility on Seneca Lake in Yates County. The nutters on the enviro-left began carping and complaining about this plant back in 2021 (see Upstate NY Bitcoin Miner Faces Opposition from Enviro-Left). They thought they had defeated it when the New York Department of Environmental Conservation, under the direction of Gov. Kathy Hochul, denied an air permit for the facility in July 2022 (see NY DEC Denies Air Permit for Operating Gas-Fired Bitcoin Plant). Yet, it refused to close down and it's still running today. 🙂
