Elizabeth Warren, a former law professor and Massachusetts Democratic Party senator, published a letter she addressed to Jeff Kirt, CEO of New York bitcoin mining business Greenidge Generation Holdings, with Bloomberg on December 2. The letter expressed worry about the environment.
“Given bitcoin mining’s exceptionally high energy consumption and carbon emissions, mining activities at Greenidge and other facilities raise concerns about their effect on the global environment, local ecosystems, and consumer power prices,” Warren notes in his letter.
“Crypto mining has a significant environmental cost and increases consumer energy costs. Bitcoin alone uses the same amount of energy as the state of Washington. “I’m requesting information from the Bitcoin firm [Greenidge Generation] on its activities and environmental effect,” she said.
