News New York Bill Could Ban Crypto Mining to Study Environmental Effects

New York Bill ... I don't know him, what about New York Steve, and New York Andrew ... what do they say?

Saw a post about Social Media Bill and I was like, who is this Bill and why is he so social?

lol. If anyone tries to fix the bankers then they will die. If you think for one second that cryptocurrency could displace the evil central banks without a huge bloody war then you are severely mistaken.

The folks who own the banks run the world. Politicians are nothing but puppets.

Mhm... Let say, politicans may conterattact with suddenly disappearing or arrested bankers due to national security interests. If needed, bankers will get rounded up faster that they will be able to fart national anthem.

BEVs do have the neat side effect of centralizing pollution. You can enforce tighter controls on large companies vs individuals. In the US, modified cars (catalytic deletes), "rolling coal", cars well beyond their service life (missing catalytic converters and exhaust systems completely is very common), etc are all on the road in many states without inspection laws.

Also the cost of creating all those catalytic converters in the first place. Getting that off the environmental impact list will help a lot. Mining for Platinum and Palladium is quite intensive compared to Lithium. Would also drop the price for factories that make a lot of products, so you might get cheaper household chemicals and stuff.

As for nuclear waste, I would like to think that nuclear technology will advance to the point in the next few centuries we can find a use for the waste, either through transmutation, or just dumping them into slow breeder reactors to get consumed that way. Governments ignoring the current problems of nuclear waste sites is a huge concern. Chernobyl has had the best response so far, but some of the other decaying disaster sites do need to be dealt with quite soon...
