Last month, New York passed the first partial ban on cryptocurrency
mining in the nation, which is sending ripple effects throughout the
digital currency industry and also encouraging environmentalists to push
for similar measures across the nation. POLITICO’s Marie French breaks
down the ban and what it means for New York, environmentalists and the
industry overall. Plus, a new report from EPA says the average fuel
economy of 2021 model vehicles sold in the U.S. remained flat as
purchases of less efficient vehicles have ramped up.
