France Considers Excess Energy for Bitcoin Mining

Some members of parliament are working to make the French government consider the opportunities for Bitcoin (BTC) mining. Moreover, the country has an excess of electricity that can be utilized for this mining.

This is also due to the nuclear power plants that have excess energy. Overall, the nuclear power sector contributes more than 70% of the electricity generated.

"The purpose of this amendment is to consider objectives for Parliament regarding the conditions under which Bitcoin mining can be used as a tool to serve the French electricity system. At a time when France is striving to optimize the management of its surplus electricity production," it was stated in an official report, Thursday (12/06).#France $BTC
