Good news: the Legislature approved a moratorium on new cryptocurrency mining projects powered by fossil fuels.
Now Governor Hochul must sign the bill into law — and we're urging her to do so before June 28, the date of the gubernatorial primary.
Bitcoin mining relies on an extremely energy-intensive "proof of work" method of aunthentication. Globally, it uses more energy than some countries! The industry has made clear its intentions to fire up shuttered coal plants with fracked gas to power its operations. With the Greenidge fracked gas plant in the Finger Lakes already operating, we need that moratorium now.
Sign below to tell Governor Hochul to sign the moratorium legislation NOW.
