French MPs Float Plan to Mine Bitcoin With Surplus Nuclear Energy

France's nuclear energy surplus could soon fuel a Bitcoin mining revolution—lawmakers are pushing to turn megawatts into megaprofit.

Why let cheap, clean power go to waste? French MPs argue Bitcoin mining offers a smarter solution than selling excess energy at a loss to neighboring countries.

The plan would position France as Europe's first state-backed nuclear-Bitcoin hybrid—a middle finger to both fossil-fuel miners and anti-crypto regulators.

Of course, traditional finance types will scoff. They're still waiting for that 'blockchain, not Bitcoin' payoff from their 2016 innovation labs.
