BlockBeats News, on August 4, according to Le Monde in France, the far-right political party National Rally (Rassemblement National) is preparing to draft a bill to 'mine' Bitcoin using the surplus electricity from nuclear power plants. During a visit to the Flamanville nuclear power plant in Normandy on March 11, three-time presidential candidate Marine Le Pen expressed support for using the surplus electricity generated by nuclear reactors to 'mine' Bitcoin. The plan involves installing high-performance computers on the site of French energy giant EDF. National Rally member Aurélien Lopez-Liguori stated that he was tasked in July with drafting this idea into a bill.
