Title: City of Plattsburgh Proposes a Moratorium on Cryptocurrency Mining Farms
Post by: Jeffery Musk on March 14, 2018, 11:37:36 AM
The moratorium will affect large mining farms using more than 250-kilowatt hours and exclude hobbyists. The city is set to welcome many mining farms due to lower electricity rates but this would put pressure on utility forcing it to but more costly power in the market.

Such a poor written article, it's garbage!!!!

Quote
Mayor of Plattsburgh Colin Read has said that the development in cryptocurrencies in the city. (what the...) It had happened so fast and they will need to first figure out a way.(again)  Thus, ensuring that it is being done right in order to keep the community safe. (somebody has a dot fetish) He said many farms want to establish operations in the city.

Reed said since crypto mining farms cannot seek to stop using electricity. At present, the city has to deal with the issue of safety. Hence the moratorium will be a time when the city will first figure out proper building and zoning codes. Since to ensure mining farms do not present fire hazards in the community.

I swear, Bart Simpson would have written a far better article!!!!

The reality is totally the opposite:
