France's political party Rassemblement National (RN) is considering a draft law to mine Bitcoin using excess energy from nuclear power plants. The party, led by Marine Le Pen, has shifted from its previous anti-cryptocurrency stance to support using idle nuclear energy for Bitcoin mining. RN lawmaker Aurélien Lopez-Liguori is leading the proposal to set up mining infrastructure at sites operated by Électricité de France. This move reflects a growing acceptance of Bitcoin within the party for economic sovereignty and utilizing energy efficiently. Despite internal disputes over cryptocurrency stance within RN, the party is actively advancing crypto legislation in France, attracting support from crypto lobbyists and entrepreneurs who see it as pro-business.
