On One-Year 'Anniversary of Shame' Advocates Rally to GET GREENIDGE OUT!

NEW YORK, NY (06/29/2023) (readMedia)-- One year ago, the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation issued a Notice of Denial of the air permit renewal for Greenidge Generation, the climate change accelerating crypto-mining plant in the Finger Lakes. It became a national story and test case for how states should handle the exploitative and extractive crypto-mining industry. But now, a year later, Greenidge is still operating as it appeals that decision - accelerating climate change, harming the environment, and threatening the Finger Lakes' $3 billion, 60,000-employee agritourism economy, even as the company faces threats of delisting from the NASDAQ. Following a Wednesday rally in the Finger Lakes, NYC advocates will mark this "anniversary of shame" and rally to GET GREENIDGE OUT!
