Replying to Craig,
First. Mining should not encumber another's existing household. If sound issues are truly a concern that needs to be fixed. Either immersion mining operations, sound absorption or other location is probably warranted.
Concerning power consumption...
There are many examples of how mining can be super beneficial to a power grid.
Some common examples are:
- actually close your area (if not actually in your area), Duke energy has a specific program for mining operations. Much like a peak demand program. When there's peak demand for energy (ie. Extreme winter storm or normal hot summer day) duke can demand miners to turn off or shave energy consumption. Makes the grid more robust! Able to handle extreme edge cases. So much better for your local county.
- mining can also create a customer to consume excess energy in a lackluster area. Where without a consumer/customer of energy, the electric service would fail or have financial hardships that might not survive a recession.
- Overall, a balanced load of energy. Something that can consume when abundant and shave when needed is absolutely what every local energy provider needs. Just have your local county rep ask the local power provider if that is what they need.im sure they would agree.
- inherently mining will move to low cost energy sources. Generally, that has been toward green energy too. Now, as reported, over 50% of mining energy comes from green power sources. I expect this to continue to even higher percentage.
But in all honesty. This is a fools adamally. This is not a question that should be ridiculed so hard. Why wouldn't the same question be asked if this was security and power for the traditional financial system? I think anyone asking about this should try to understand "what is money". This is always the bigger challenge to get people to take the orange pill. But the importance of securing and establishing this lifeboat of financial freedom to all is so important. Beyond these simple concerns it sounds like you're up against in your county .
