Pine Bluff rejected the data mining hub. Thank goodness!

However, Newport Economic Developers embraced bitcoin mining. 

Vilonia has just approved the Bitcoin site.

Unfortunately, they are trying to install mining sites in many other places in our state, not just in these towns! 

PLEASE be aware!! We need to stand against this locally!

How Cryptocurrency Mining Impacts The Environment

NBC News’ Joshua Johnson explains how cryptocurrencies are not just impacting the global financial markets but are also negatively affecting the environment through the amount of electricity used to mine digital currencies.

Proof of problems: Bitcoin mining’s pollution devastates communities across the U.S.

WASHINGTON – Electricity-intensive mining of the cryptocurrency bitcoin harms communities across the U.S. with air, climate, waste, water and noise pollution, a new Environmental Working Group investigation finds.

The new report features interviews with residents, environmental advocates and others in six states, revealing the widespread blight bitcoin mining inflicts in their backyards. In Georgia or North Carolina, noise pollution ruins homeowners’ quality of life. In Montana and Kentucky, carbon and other emissions impair air quality. In Pennsylvania, dirty coal waste powers bitcoin mining operations, and in New York, bitcoin mining relies on a natural gas plant critics say is contaminating their water and air.

The report even went so far as to suggest the federal government should limit or eliminate the use of highly energy-intensive cryptocurrency mining methods.

Here’s a snippet:

… Crypto-assets are digital assets that are implemented using cryptographic techniques. Crypto-assets can require considerable amounts of electricity usage, which can result in greenhouse gas emissions, as well as additional pollution, noise, and other local impacts to communities living near mining facilities.

Ban crypto-mines in Cherokee County, North Carolina

If you are not aware, China has banned crypto-mining and cryptocurrency as of May 2021, mostly for power consumption and environmental reasons. In response, there has been an exponential increase in crypto-mining locations in the US. The ideal location is a rural area, with little or no zoning regulations, inexpensive land, proximity to a large river, and hydroelectric production already in place.

Bitcoin mining is a noise pollution menace across the US

We know all about the ecological toll of Bitcoin mining, but a lesser talked about issue is just how noisy its industrial processes are. Residents at Niagara Falls claim it’s ruining their quality of life.  

For context, the average Bitcoin mining machine produces between 70 and 90 decibels as a by-product, which explains why grievances continue flooding in for City Hall officials nationwide. Not all of these instances are easily resolved, either, with noise pollution regulated at local level by states and ignored by federal governments.

Mayors and the board members of our Arkansas cities and towns have been told that they MUST vote for Bitcoin mining near the city or else! They are threatened with a lawsuit for millions of dollars if they do not approve the Bitcoin site and move it forward! 

The city attorneys are telling the mayors and board members of our Arkansas cities and towns that they HAVE to vote for the Bitcoin mining near the city… or else! 

In closing, we believe this will dangerously affect our electrical grid and our health!
