France’s Right-Wing National Rally Plans to Promote Legislation Supporting Nuclear-Powered Bitcoin Mining

According to a report by Jinse Finance, citing France's Le Monde, the French right-wing party "Rassemblement National" plans to propose a bill to use surplus electricity from nuclear power plants for Bitcoin mining. Party member Aurélien Lopez-Liguori began drafting the relevant legislation in July. The proposal aims to deploy high-performance computers at nuclear power plants operated by French energy giant EDF, participating in blockchain network operations by performing complex calculations to earn newly minted Bitcoin as a reward.
