TechFlow news, on June 19, according to Bitcoin.com News, the French National Assembly rejected a proposal to discuss using Bitcoin mining as a potential outlet for France's energy surplus. The proposal was dismissed on procedural grounds and did not enter substantive discussion.
The proposal aimed to assess "the conditions for developing Bitcoin mining activities in France, as a tool to utilize electricity production surpluses, stabilize the power grid, and optimize nuclear power plant operations." If passed, France would have become one of the few countries, after El Salvador and Bhutan, to incorporate Bitcoin mining into its national energy strategy.
According to local media reports, the proposal may have been rejected due to being considered as containing content not directly related to the main subject of the bill. Since the rejection was based solely on formal issues, it is theoretically possible to submit a more concise amendment in the future. However, analysts believe that given Bitcoin mining is still viewed as an environmental disaster in France, the likelihood of similar proposals being approved in the short term remains low.
