On One-Year 'Anniversary of Shame' Electeds, Winemakers, and Residents Rally to GET GREENIDGE OUT!
GENEVA, NY (06/26/2023) (readMedia)-- One year ago, the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation denied the air permit renewal for Greenidge Generation, the climate-killing 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 delisting from the NASDAQ. Advocates will gather and rally to GET GREENIDGE OUT!
**This event will be livestreamed**
(On Thursday, NYC advocates will hold a corresponding rally to Get Greenidge Out at 11 a.m. at the Wall Street Bull.)
