According to Deep Tide TechFlow news, on August 4, the French newspaper "Le Monde" reported that the French right-wing party "National Rally" (Rassemblement National) plans to propose a bill to utilize the surplus electricity from nuclear power plants for Bitcoin mining.

The party member Aurélien Lopez-Liguori began drafting the relevant bill in July. The proposal aims to deploy high-performance computers at the nuclear power plants of French energy giant EDF to participate in blockchain network operations by performing complex calculations, in order to receive newly minted Bitcoins as a reward.
