‘Every family here is sick,‘ say neighbors of Bitcoin mining facility in Texas
A new More Perfect Union video sheds light on what life is like for Granbury, Texas, residents living with the near-constant noise of a Bitcoin mining operation.
Many residents of a Texas town southwest of Dallas, facing health problems allegedly associated with constant noise, don’t seem to have anything good to say about a crypto mining facility run by MARA Holdings.
In a video released Thursday by the nonprofit advocacy organization More Perfect Union, reporter Dan Lieberman spoke to residents of Granbury, Texas, some of whom lived less than a mile from MARA’s 300-megawatt Bitcoin (BTC) mining facility. Many long-term residents and retirees described life as “hell” under the near-constant noise of the mining operation, which lies in an unincorporated area of Hood County.
“It never goes away, headaches never go away,” said one elderly resident on camera, with the sound of the facility easily heard in the background.
