“Judge Reed O’Connor rejected MARA Holdings’ request in the federal Northern District of Texas for a temporary restraining order on an election for Mitchell Bend to incorporate as Texas’ newest city and regulate the company’s nearby Bitcoin mine… The Bitcoin mine, which MARA has owned for almost two years, has been a source of noise pollution that residents say has been the cause of a range of health issues including lack of sleep, vertigo, nausea and motion sickness.”
Well, if it’s a data center with a colocated fossil-fuel power plant (and, being Texas, that’s likely), what happens is noise pollution and air pollution. The vertigo, nausea and motion sickness sound like bullshit, but other health issues are an expected outcome.
