If it came to your neighborhood, would you still support bitcoin mining?
It's easy to blame Bitcoin or Bitcoin mining. But the bigger issue is Texas have poor law and law enforcement.
Yeah, you definitely can't live next to this. If I were the people living next to Marathon, and there was absolutely nothing that I could do at the City Hall level, I'd put the house for sale.
No sane people would buy house on that area without relative low price though.
If you are deaf and get a 20% discount it is a great place to live.
So the real problem is no one is recruiting deaf buyers. <sarcasm to those that are literal.
Back to cheap power cost vs high power cost. that mine provides a service to the power company as it shuts off when it is too hot and the power company is able to shunt the power to homes that need ac.
as for water use that mine goes air cooled and I have evidence they use water cooling
I do agree with one thing if it is the loud the owners of the company need to live in the homes so they can feel the sound.
