French lawmakers decline to consider Bitcoin mining as an outlet for excess energy

The French National Assembly has opted not to consider Bitcoin mining as a potential use for the country’s surplus energy, according to Bitcoin.com News. A recently proposed amendment suggesting a study on this idea was dismissed on procedural grounds, preventing any in-depth discussion of its merits. The amendment did not call for the immediate allocation of excess energy to Bitcoin mining, but simply aimed to explore the feasibility of such a move.
