Cornell researchers say new wind and solar power projects could profit from Bitcoin mining

Researchers from Cornell University say newly developed wind and solar power projects could actually profit by using their energy for Bitcoin mining. Often criticized for its negative environmental impacts, the researchers say that Bitcoin mining could be performed by these projects once they are generating power but before they are joined to the grid.

If successful, the program could generate tens of millions of dollars, which could be used for renewable energy investments or other methods designed to defray the impacts of the Bitcoin mining process.
