The bill was already approved by the New York Senate in June, but Hochul has yet to sign it because of ferocious industry lobbying, according to Bloomberg.
It places a two-year freeze on issuing new licenses for mining operations that use proof-of-work and are powered by carbon-based fuel.
In a message on November 22, Hochul pledged:
“I will ensure that New York continues to be the center of financial innovation, while also taking important steps to prioritize the protection of our environment.”
This year, the issue generated intense discussion in the state Capitol, with the industry asking Hochul to oppose the legislation and environmental organizations urging lawmakers to support it.
