A privately owned fracked gas plant in New York State is generating energy to power an energy-intensive bitcoin mining operation.
They also want to use a freshwater lake for plant cooling, affecting the temperature of the lake, fish viability, and surrounding ecology.
This webinar features guests from Missoula Montana to speak about the impacts of bitcoin mining in their community, and speakers from the Finger Lakes on the fight to shut down the Greenidge fracked gas powerplant’s use of energy for bitcoin mining.
Watch to learn about the threat of bitcoin mining operations like this one and a new trend of privately run “merchant gas plants”.
