There are at least 137 Bitcoin mines in the US across 21 states, and reports indicate there are many more planned.

Trump has said he wants to turn the US into the crypto-mining capital of the world.

This has implications for rural communities throughout the US many of whom voted for Trump .

New York state and Greenidge Generation are engaged in a protracted legal battle over the future of a Bitcoin mining plant in the Finger Lakes region.

New York officials are challenging whether the gas-fired plant is permitted under the regulations that allowed the old coal plant.

A Harvard study published in March found that Bitcoin mining exposes millions of Americans to harmful air pollution each year .

Business Secretary Howard Lutnick says miners can build their own power plants next to mines.

The White House is not planning to do away with all regulations around crypto mining.

But it is ready to actively help companies open power plants near the mines.

Some states have already passed laws preventing municipalities from banning mining.
