As we roll into summer, there may be some encouraging news for many of the nation’s waterways as predictions are calling for smaller Harmful Algae Blooms due to an unusually dry spring in many areas.

The Finger Lakes is known for its bright, award-winning Rieslings, artisanal chevre and bountiful produce. But thanks to cheap electricity in upstate New York, it could also become home to multiple cryptocurrency mining operations.
According to Michael Warren Thomas, that would be a major mistake.
Thomas is the owner, host and producer at savorlife.com, and is known throughout the region as “the Voice of the Finger Lakes."
At a recent webinar on cryptocurrency, he expressed fear that the Finger Lakes “brand” would be wounded if the region became known for cryptocurrency mining.
