 🚨🚨EMERGENCY TFTC RIP🚨🚨

I sat down with Jason Brett to discuss the targeting of the bitcoin mining industry by the EIA & Department of Energy. 

Discrimination against a single industry like this has never been seen before. Important rip.

 Apparently, BitCoin is "over the target". 
 thanks 
 @MartyBent you need to do a rip with @dsbatten around the energy and potential benefit from methane gas mitigation. 
 The gov is the nefarious act.

Supreme Court

West Virginia vs EPA 
 
"EPA eventually repealed the rule in 2019, concluding
that the Clean Power Plan had been “in excess of its statu-
tory authority” under Section 111(d). 84 Fed. Reg. 32523
(2019)."

That's good; they already know this situation. 

But they haven't learned: they try again ... 
 in this context, german law recognizes the interest in a declaratory judgment and the risk of repetition

and as we can see from our example: the danger is super real

But “voluntary cessation does not moot a case” unless it is “absolutely clear that the allegedly wrongful behavior

Opinion of the Court
could not reasonably be expected to recur.” 
 Hope a court  enjoins this reg, events accelerating
