A closed-down coal plant in Australia's Hunter Valley, about a two-hour drive north of Sydney, is reopening in order to provide inexpensive power for Bitcoin miners. A tech company called IOT Group has partnered with the local power company to revive the power plant and set up cryptocurrency mining operations, called a Blockchain Operations Centre, inside it. This would give the group direct access to energy at wholesale prices.

So now they are reviving a coal plant to mine Bitcoin. Gee, good thing we are shooting ourselves in the face to limit CO2 so this can happen...Where are all the protesters?
