Environmental organization The Sierra Club has filed a lawsuit against the town of Torrey, New York for approving a plan to expand a Bitcoin mining facility near one of the Finger Lakes, according to court documents.
In addition to The Sierra Club, the Seneca Lake Guardian, the Committee to Preserve the Finger Lakes and local residents lodged the complaint against Torrey for violating state laws by approving Greenidge Generation's site plan to expand its existing Bitcoin mining operation.
