April 20, Fineko/abc.az. Reabold Resources plans to use large gas field West Newton in Yorkshire not for the UK's energy supply, but for mining cryptocurrencies.

ABC.AZ informs that despite the potential to cover significant part of country's gas needs, the resource will be used to generate energy for the data center.

The initiative has attracted criticism from environmentalists and questions about the feasibility of energy risks and climate policy.
