This is such a misleading headline.<p>New York has instituted a moratorium on issuing permits for new powerplants (or powerplant reactivations) for the purpose of mining crypto.<p>If you want to buy power off the grid to run your mining rig, you can. If you already got a permit to restart a coal-fired power station, you can keep going. You just can't get a new permit to bring power online for the purpose of mining.
