New! Read my Op-Ed with Mandy DeRoche from on what is next now that the cryptomining moratorium has been signed into law. New York has created the framework. Now we need other states to follow.

Having witnessed the Capitol & LOB swarming w/ crypto lobbyists, this is more than a win for climate; it cuts corruption + dirty money influence along w/ our emissions.

New Yorker’s deserve transparency when it comes to the water that we drink. That is why and introduced this bill, which requires the identification and reporting of PFAS at publicly owned treatment facilities.

Wow, that was your take away?? Good grief. There is no other explanation but that you are intentionally trying to misinterpret. Addressing the myth that cryptomining uses less energy. Per capita user it uses much more so if expanded to equal scale… Do the math.
Quote Tweet
Replying to @annakelles @timot78 and 5 others
Your argument is that because more people use the legacy systems it's larger use of energy is valid? The entire podcast was about energy conservation and your providing a value judgment rather than fact.
