A retired power plant near New York’s Seneca Lake is fueling nearly 10,000 computers, 24 hours a day, to mine bitcoin  a virtual currency creating real-world risks. NBC News’ Josh Lederman explains how it works with exclusive access inside the plant, and hears from residents concerned about its environmental footprint. Its CEO says that the plant buys credits to offset its carbon emissions, and could be a model for the bitcoin industry.

all bitcoin needs to go solar.
Not enough volume
How quickly we forget that we had lakes and rivers that caught on fire in the 60s and 70s! Nobody questioned the destruction of the environment. Sounds like more heads in the sand again with Bitcoin smokescreen clouding their poor judgment.
That’s ridiculous. It’s always about money. 😤
Don't Hackers who take out our infrastructure get PAID IN BITCOIN?????
Environmental issues aside: "Fake money"? … That's funny!
It's pretty clear people don't understand "Money", and that explains so much.
Look! It's very simple: Bitcoin is going to be mined no matter what, it can't be stopped. If this place wasn't mining using carbon offsets and natural gas, then itbwould be mined in China using child labor, dirty coal and profits to the Communist party. At least this way, Americans can make money and it's better for the environment in the end.
Pretty surprised they haven’t been hacked yet lol 😂
Bitcoin mining uses more renewable energy than any other industry in the world. And the fact that most people are too afraid of change to understand it, like the internet back when it started haha keep stackin boys don't ever let them scare you to sell. When you grasp the crypto community and bitcoin, you quickly realize how early you've gotten in and there's no other way then up.
This is some terrible journalism.
Am I the only one who physically cannn ot watch these general descriptions of bitcoin it so cringe like all the tools in the world but would still rather just say whatever
Octans crypto is crazy project!
These people… NVM lol
