The French Parliament rejected the proposal related to Bitcoin mining

ChainCatcher news, according to Bitcoin.com, the French National Assembly has rejected a proposal to discuss Bitcoin mining as a potential destination for France's energy surplus. The proposal was dismissed on procedural grounds and did not enter substantive discussion. This proposal aimed to assess "the conditions for developing Bitcoin mining activities in France, using it as a tool to utilize surplus electricity production, stabilize the grid, and optimize nuclear power plant operations." If passed, France would become one of the few countries, following El Salvador and Bhutan, to incorporate Bitcoin mining into its national energy strategy.

The proposal may have been rejected because it was deemed to contain content not directly related to the subject of the bill. Since the rejection only involved procedural issues, theoretically, a more concise amendment could be submitted in the future. However, analysts believe that, as Bitcoin mining is still viewed as an environmental disaster in France, the likelihood of similar proposals being approved in the short term is low.
