New York Supreme Court allows Greenidge to continue operating its mining operations

A New York State Supreme Court ruling allows Greenidge Generation to continue generating electricity and mining Bitcoin at its facility in Dresden, New York, and to reapply for a Title V air permit under the Clean Air Act that was denied by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) in June 2022. Nevertheless, the court also affirmed DEC's authority to deny the permit under the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA). The court found that DEC's decision was arbitrary and capricious, but there was no evidence of improper policy making by DEC, which means that Greenidge's permit will be reconsidered. (Cointelegraph)
