A cryptocurrency firm has lost a bid to force BC Hydro to provide the vast amounts of power needed for its operations, upholding the provincial government's right to pause power connections for new crypto miners.
Conifex Timber Inc., a forestry firm that branched out into cryptocurrency mining, had gone to the B.C. Supreme Court to have the policy declared invalid.
@Christmas_Snow yup and with the current drought (I've lived here in the West Kootenays since '97 and I've never seen the Columbia River this low) we don't need the power we have going to that nonsense.
@Christmas_Snow ban them all now
@NorthernInvader 💯%
@NorthernInvader i remember watching on the news one night (around the time when the salmon run would've been happening) that water levels were so low in one area that people had to scoop up the fish in a net to help them get upstream! 😔 You guys definitely don't need a company there that's just out to rob the resources and do nothing else for the people who live and work there. Let them take their stupid operation somewhere else (hopefully not Ontario😬).
