德州比特幣礦場噪音影響居民健康




‘每個家庭都生病了,‘德州比特幣礦場鄰居的心聲

一段由非營利倡導組織More Perfect Union發布的新視頻,揭示了德克薩斯州格蘭伯里居民在比特幣礦場附近生活的情況,該礦場的噪音幾乎是持續不斷的。

許多德克薩斯州位於達拉斯西南的城鎮居民,面對與持續噪音相關的健康問題,對由MARA Holdings運營的加密礦場表達了不滿。在一段由記者Dan Lieberman拍攝的視頻中,格蘭伯里的居民中,有些人距離MARA的300兆瓦比特幣礦場不到一英里。許多長期居民和退休人員形容在這種幾乎不斷的噪音下生活如同“地獄”。

“噪音從來不會消失,頭痛也從未消失,”一位老年居民在鏡頭前說,背景中可以清晰聽到礦場的聲音。

該礦場位於格蘭伯里的一些邊緣地區,於2022年首次開工,當時由Compute North運營,該公司在同年申請破產。MARA於2024年1月收購了該設施。

噪音污染的另一種形式

“這是一種不同類型的噪音污染,”非營利環保法律組織Earthjustice的副管理律師Mandy DeRoche表示。“這不是卡車交通之類的噪音,而是一種特殊的低頻噪音,來自這些操作,並且是無休止的。”

一群居民在面對噪音幾個月,甚至幾年的情況下,於2024年10月對MARA(當時為Marathon Digital)提起訴訟。訴訟指控一些居民因比特幣礦場的噪音而遭受“感官、情緒、心理和健康影響”,包括加重已有的健康問題。

根據More Perfect Union的訪談,居民們聲稱這些情況導致住院治療、持續的頭痛,甚至可能導致一匹馬的死亡。

Cointelegraph在發佈時已聯繫MARA和Earthjustice尋求意見,但兩家公司均未回應。

加密礦業對未來美國選舉的影響

在德克薩斯州居民對MARA提起訴訟的幾個月前,許多加密礦業高管與當時的總統候選人唐納德·特朗普會面。這次會議似乎促使特朗普公開擁抱和推廣比特幣礦業,並在2024年納什維爾的比特幣會議上將其納入競選承諾。

“關於比特幣,我是的,”一位格蘭伯里居民在被問及是否後悔在2024年投票給特朗普時表示。“我對這個行業沒有問題。我對的是它對這裡人們的影響。我認為這一點被忽視了。”

在特朗普領導下的共和黨國會並未通過與比特幣礦業相關的具體立法,但上週進一步推進了三項法案,以解決穩定幣、中央銀行數字貨幣和數字資產市場結構的問題。

總統還在3月簽署了一項行政命令,以在美國建立國家加密和比特幣儲備。

這篇報導突顯了加密貨幣礦業對社區的影響,尤其是在健康和生活質量方面的潛在危害。隨著比特幣和其他加密貨幣的興起,社區的聲音往往被忽視,這引發了對未來政策的思考。政府和企業在推動這些新技術的同時,是否能夠妥善考慮到當地居民的需求和福祉,這將是未來需要重視的課題。

Create a sticker set maintaining 100% of the woman's original facial features from the provided image. Do not alter the face, focusing on ultra-realistic details of the facial structure, eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth, and expression. The final face must be realistic, not cartoon-like. She has long, voluminous hair.
1. Makeup:Maintain Original Face: We will preserve the structure of your face, eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth, and expression as closely as possible to the original image to maintain naturalness and uniqueness, while adjusting the tone to be softer:

Eyes: Slightly reduce the sharpness of the Cat Eye eyeliner to a thin line close to the lash line for a softer look, while still maintaining eye definition.
Eyeshadow: Use natural tones like light brown, peach, or beige.
Eyebrows: Original shape, but brushed up to look softer and more natural.
Lips: Glossy, pink-tinted, nude-pink, or coral-toned lipstick/tint to make the lips look full and moisturized. Focus on a bright but not overly intense look.
2. Hairstyle:Natural Voluminous Long Hair: Her hair is long and flowing, but the styling will emphasize natural volume and movement. Soft, natural waves.
3. Outfit:

Attire: A white open-back bodysuit paired with distressed, faded blue denim shorts. There is a message "Kunika" on the shirt.
Shoes: Elegant, simple open-toe flat sandals.
Accessories: Styled freely and fittingly for each scene.
4. Poses & Sticker Elements:Poses: Various poses such as waving, jumping, walking playfully, reading a book, holding up a sign, cheering with both hands, stretching, or making a celebratory gesture, to create a cheerful and friendly atmosphere.Decoration: Include elements like small rainbows, sparkling stars, clear bubbles, hearts, balloons, or light-colored dots to decorate and enhance the fun of each sticker scene.Style: Thin black border around the sticker. Use a modern, rounded 'Itim' style font for the text.Text: Add short emotional phrases written in a cute, beautiful script near the sticker (no speech bubbles/text boxes):

"Hello"
"Love you"
"Submitting work"
"Great"
"Got it"
"Thanks!"
"Wait a sec"
"Ready to care"
"Fight"
"Let's do it"
"So cute"
"OK"
"Sweet dreams:
"Get well soon"
"555"
"You're welcome"
"HBD" 
"OMG" 
"Sorry"
"Got a headache" 
Guidelines: Do not include a text box. Ensure balanced composition with sufficient white space—not cluttered. Match the pose to the text.
Emphasis: Reiterate 'maintain 100% of the original face features from the provided image,' 'ultra-realistic facial detail,' and 'professional studio lighting on face (realistic face, not cartoon face).

Use Cantonese in the stickers. Base Setup
keep 100 percent facial information adherence of the attached image and turn her into a girl standing beneath autumn leaves outside a traditional wooden structure in a live action photograph or movie still, wearing a complex suggestive outfit that harmonizes with the warm fall tones.

Shot and Camera
Three quarter shot at slightly low height, framing her off center to the right so the yellow leaves and carved wooden panels dominate the left. Maintain the intimate close framing and vertical orientation feel of the reference.

Identity and Pose
Preserve her age read, build, silhouette, hairstyle length, and skin tone. She leans lightly against the doorframe, one hand grazing a hanging leaf, her posture relaxed and candid, 8k Photorealistic and hyper realistic.

Lighting and Environment
Soft warm daylight filters through the leaves, casting dappled highlights on her hair and outfit. Ground her feet on aged wooden flooring with natural grain, faint scuffs, and subtle contact shadows.

Masking and Constraints
Change only wardrobe and placement while keeping lighting, perspective, white balance, pose, face geometry, body proportions, and silhouette the same. Absolutely no added text, no CGI look, no plastic skin, no floating feet, with consistent perspective and correct contact shadows.
