The government subsidizes every other industry's decarbonizarion (steel, cement, pulp & paper, oil & gas, energy gen, etc), from subsidies to funding (free $)

But when there's a natural subsidy (Bitcoin mining reward), they tax it, pushing mining offshore to higher GHG emitting grids šŸ¤¦šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø

No worries. You can't stop an idea who's time has come.

It is stunning to me how brain-dead these politicians are. But I suspect the rich bankers that have the politicians (like Biden, Warren, et al) in their back pockets might be behind this.

F that. Tax carbon emissions like every other industry. That’s fine.

Don’t tax ā€œelectricity usageā€ what a joke šŸ˜’

This isn’t legal, we’ll take it to the Supreme Court.
