Cryptocurrency with a clear conscience.
Block and Blockstream have revealed their plans to build a solar-powered Bitcoin mining facility.

Blockstream, meanwhile, describes its mission as building the „crypto-financial infrastructure based on Bitcoin.“ It will lead the construction of this new mining facility. Blockstream says that a „3.8 Megawatt (MW) Tesla Solar PV array and 12 megawatt-hours (MWh) Tesla Megapack will power the open-source, solar-powered Bitcoin mining facility at a Blockstream Mining site in the United States“ that it expects to finish sometime this year.
