While current operations will not be ceased, New York continues to show an adversarial stance to bitcoin mining as a whole.
This is an opinion editorial by Rick Mulvey, author of The Fraud Within and contributor to Bitcoin Magazine.
New York State’s Department of Environmental Conservation dealt another blow to the upstate Greenidge Generating Facility, which produces electricity for the power grid and also mines bitcoin.
Greenidge stated that the decision, announced on Thursday, to deny them a new “Title V” Air Emissions permit will “not have any impact on our current operations.”
