I don't live near this operation, so I can't speak about how bad it is living next to a mining operation, but these examples are the type of things that get the normies fired up against #Bitcoin

To be honest, I don't mind cry babies trying to push mining out of the US, distribute the hash rate and let it end up in places it is valued the most

There are hundreds of countries that would value Bitcoin miners investing in their energy infrastructure and hashing all day long

Yes, blessing is disguise. Right now over 50% of hashrate in public companies to the biggest financial dragnet country on earth, mining at 2 cents per kilowatt going into the halving...we are in bad shape on that front.

For sure, anything that encourages hash rate distribution, smaller more flexible miners to me is a good thing it gets Bitcoin into different parts of the world, different economies in different stages of adoption and can have many positive effects for the network

The scenario where mining gets capped in the US by liberal US regulators ...enraging many bitcoiners, only to drive decentralization of hash and help bitcoin stay out of goverent control is an interesting possibility.

Still important to be good neighbors as bitcoiners

Many companies can do better

It's got to be better than living near a wind farm, or chicken sheds
