Solar Alliance Spokesperson and renewable energy advocate William Shatner is excited about the potential for solar energy to support the growing cryptocurrency industry.

“I am proud to be a part of the group that is powering the digital currency revolution,” said Mr. Shatner. “Blockchain technologies, and cryptocurrencies specifically, are at the cutting edge of a new distributed technology infrastructure. As an advocate for solar energy I was intrigued by the potential for it to power cryptocurrency mining operations. They are energy intensive and utilizing solar arrays to power them makes social and economic sense. Cryptocurrencies can help prevent fraud, speed payment settlement, reduce identity theft and provide global access to capital. The combination of solar and cryptocurrency mining facilities represents meaningful change,” said Mr. Shatner.
