On June 19, according to Bitcoin.com News, the French National Assembly rejected a proposal to discuss Bitcoin mining as a potential destination for France's energy surplus. The proposal was dismissed on procedural grounds and did not reach the substantive discussion stage. This proposal aimed to assess "the conditions for developing Bitcoin mining activities in France, using it as a tool to utilize electricity production surplus, stabilize the grid, and optimize nuclear power plant operations." If approved, France would become one of the few countries to incorporate Bitcoin mining into its national energy strategy, following El Salvador and Bhutan. According to local media reports, the proposal may have been rejected because it was deemed to contain content not directly related to the subject of the bill. Since the rejection only involved procedural issues, theoretically, a more concise amendment could be submitted in the future. However, analysts believe that since Bitcoin mining is still viewed as an environmental disaster in France, the likelihood of similar proposals being approved in the short term is low.
