Description

The rise of bitcoin mining has become a subject of attention due to the energy-intensive process to create coins. Given concerns related to the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by this energy usage, the crypto mining industry is now under immense pressure to go 100% renewable.

In this program, experienced environmental lawyers Linda R. Shaw (Knauf Shaw LLP) and David P. Flynn (Phillips Lytle LLP) will provide the audience with a comprehensive discussion of the current developments and challenges surrounding bitcoin mining and renewable energy. Speakers, among other things, will also provide key considerations in switching to renewable energy sources.
