The French Parliament rejected the proposal for "Bitcoin Mining" to become a solution for low nuclear power capacity.

The French National Assembly suspended a proposal to assess whether bitcoin mining can absorb surplus electricity from nuclear power on procedural grounds.

France's National Assembly recently rejected a high-profile motion to assess the viability of "bitcoin mining" as a way to absorb the domestic electricity surplus. Although the conclusion was suspended only due to procedural issues, the incident still shows the cautious attitude of French politicians towards the energy-intensive crypto industry. The core of the initiative is to study whether bitcoin mining can become a "flexible electricity user", quickly starting when electricity demand falls into a low peak to consume excess capacity of nuclear power plants. Proponents of the bill emphasize that France, which gets about 70 percent of its electricity from nuclear power and is occasionally overproduced, could help stabilize the grid and increase energy sovereignty if the load could be adjusted in real time through mining. Proponents pointed out on CoinCentral that bitcoin mining is "fast on and off" and can increase or decrease depending on the actual grid conditions. In addition, the opening of a mining industry may bring employment to the French region and promote the advantages of the AI surface. Procedural rejection The French parliament eventually suspended the discussion on procedural grounds, which, according to Bitcoin.com reports, were widely interpreted as "small in form, but still in great resistance." Analysts point out that French society's doubts about mining's high energy consumption and carbon emissions have not dissipated, and environmental groups often see mining as an "environmental disaster" with high power consumption, which makes any proposal to include mining in the national energy policy face a high political threshold. This shows the dilemma of French energy policy, on the one hand, the need for flexible use of electricity during periods of nuclear power surplus; On the other hand, legalizing energy-intensive industries may conflict with the carbon reduction targets of many European countries. Although the vote did not touch on the practical level, it has opened up a public debate on how to balance the environment and regulation while pursuing energy efficiency. In the short term, it is still not optimistic that similar mining proposals in Europe will receive legislative support, but in the face of the increase in the proportion of renewable energy, the gap between continuous nuclear power generation and electricity peaks, how to properly use excess electricity, even directly to Bitcoin mining and AI computing power centers? will be the focus of policy.
