New Climate Bill Targets Crypto Mining & AI: What You Need to Know
There’s a new bill in the U.S. Senate that could have a major impact on crypto and AI industries. It's called the Clean Cloud Act, and it's all about cutting carbon emissions from large-scale data operations—like crypto mining farms and AI data centers.
Here’s the breakdown in simple terms:
If your facility uses over 100 kilowatts of power, you'll need to meet new regional emission standards
These limits will tighten every year until they hit net-zero by 2035
If you’re using non-renewable energy beyond the allowed cap, expect fines—and you can’t pass those costs onto customers
Those fines will go toward helping local communities with energy costs and clean energy programs
The message is clear: industries that use huge amounts of power need to take responsibility for their environmental impact.
Crypto and AI are at the heart of innovation, but they also use a ton of energy—often from fossil fuels. This bill is pushing for a cleaner, more sustainable approach.
It won’t pass without a fight, especially with political tensions rising around crypto. But it could push the industry to innovate even faster—this time in the direction of sustainability.
Let’s see how the mining world responds. Change is coming.
