Petty - I don't think so. They're based on legitimate health and well being concerns. You're free to destroy your health/future, but not mine. Whether they're right or not (and I think they are) is irrelevant. They're not petty.
Uncalled for - the context here (the bill) is about banning certain things related to mining on PoW blockchains for environmental reasons. Comments to ban PoW blockchains entirely for the same reasons is called for. Again, this is irrespective of the commenter's correctness.
> I openly dismiss your petty and uncalled for attacks on me and the PoW blockchains entirely
I was involved with this bill. It’s being replicated in a few other state houses.
I was on the fence, initially. (I am by default sceptical of regulation.) But the mean argument against was more or less the above. Dismissal without evidence or even attempt at argument.
Hence the 2-year term. If nobody can make an actual argument in that time, the moratorium should expand to all power generation (you can do whatever you want after the meter, this targets behind-the-meter deals) indefinitely.
