A ruling by the New York State Supreme Court allows Greenidge Generation to continue generating electricity and mining Bitcoin at its factory in Dresden, New York, and reapply for a Chapter V air permit under the Clean Air Act that was denied by the New York State Department of Environmental Protection (DEC) in June 2022. However, the court also confirmed DEC's right to refuse permission under the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA). The court considers DEC's decision to be arbitrary and capricious, but there is no evidence to suggest that DEC has engaged in improper policy-making, which means that Greenidge's license will be reconsidered. @ftiioma
