阿肯色州參議院以國家安全問題為由，拒絕在軍事基地附近禁止加密礦山的法案

阿肯色州參議院的城市，縣和地方事務委員會拒絕了一項旨在防止加密礦業設施在軍事基地30英里以內運營的法案。

The Arkansas Senate panel has rejected a bill that aimed to prevent crypto mining facilities from operating within 30 miles of military bases. Lawmakers voted against the measure 5-1, effectively stopping it from becoming law. The bill also proposed revoking business permits of existing mining facilities located near military sites, but this provision was also rejected.

阿肯色州參議院小組拒絕了一項旨在防止加密礦業設施在軍事基地內運營的法案。立法者投票反對這一措施，有效地阻止了該措施成為法律。該法案還提議撤銷位於軍事遺址附近的現有採礦設施的業務許可證，但該規定也被拒絕。

The bill was introduced due to concerns that crypto mining facilities near military bases could pose a national security risk. Lawmakers who supported the bill argued that mining operations located close to sensitive military sites, including hospitals and clinics, could compromise security. The bill’s original text stated that digital asset mining presented risks to national security and state security.

該法案的引入是因為擔心軍事基地附近的加密採礦設施可能構成國家安全風險。支持該法案的立法者認為，靠近敏感軍事遺址的採礦業務，包括醫院和診所，可能會損害安全性。該法案的原始文本指出，數字資產採礦給國家安全和國家安全帶來了風險。

The proposal included an emergency clause, meaning it would have taken effect immediately if passed. The bill’s authors justified this urgency by stating that the measure was necessary to protect Arkansas and its residents. However, despite these concerns, the Senate panel ultimately decided not to proceed with the restrictions.

該提案包括一個緊急條款，這意味著如果通過的話將立即生效。該法案的作者表明，這項措施是保護阿肯色州及其居民的必要措施。但是，儘管有這些擔憂，參議院小組最終決定不進行限制。

Apart from security risks, crypto mining has also faced criticism for its environmental impact. In April 2022, 23 U.S. lawmakers sent a letter to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), raising concerns about whether crypto mining operations fully complied with environmental laws. They questioned whether these facilities violated the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act. The lawmakers also highlighted that mining operations consume large amounts of electricity, sparking concerns about sustainability and pollution.

除了安全風險外，加密貨幣採礦還因其環境影響而面臨批評。 2022年4月，23名美國立法者向環境保護署（EPA）發了一封信，引起了人們對加密礦業開採業務是否完全遵守環境法的擔憂。他們質疑這些設施是否違反了《清潔空氣法》和《清潔水法》。立法者還強調，採礦業務消耗大量電力，引發了人們對可持續性和污染的關注。

Noise pollution has emerged as another major issue for communities living near crypto mining facilities. In many parts of the U.S., residents have reported complaints about the constant loud humming from mining equipment. A letter to the EPA noted that people living near mining facilities in states like New York, Tennessee, and Georgia experienced significant noise pollution. Some said the noise affected their quality of life.

對於居住在加密礦業設施附近的社區而言，噪聲污染已成為另一個主要問題。在美國的許多地方，居民報告了有關採礦設備不斷嗡嗡作響的投訴。給EPA的一封信指出，居住在紐約，田納西州和佐治亞州等州採礦設施附近的人們遭受了巨大的噪音污染。有人說噪音影響了他們的生活質量。

In October 2024, residents of Granbury, Texas, filed a lawsuit against a mining company called MARA. The lawsuit claimed that excessive noise from the facility caused various health issues, including fatigue, headaches, nausea, hearing loss, memory problems, and psychological distress.

2024年10月，德克薩斯州格蘭伯里的居民對一家名為Mara的礦業公司提起訴訟。該訴訟聲稱，該設施的噪音過多引起了各種健康問題，包括疲勞，頭痛，噁心，聽力損失，記憶問題和心理困擾。

The U.S. government has taken action against crypto mining facilities before. In May 2024, former President Joe Biden ordered the removal of a mining facility near the Francis E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming. The facility belonged to MineOne Cloud Computing Investment, a company with Chinese ownership. The Biden administration argued that MineOne’s proximity to a U.S. nuclear missile installation posed a security threat. Officials feared the company could use the facility for surveillance of military activities.

美國政府以前已經採取了針對加密礦業設施的行動。 2024年5月，前總統喬·拜登（Joe Biden）下令在懷俄明州的弗朗西斯·E·沃倫空軍基地附近拆除一個採礦設施。該設施屬於擁有中國所有權的公司MineOne Cloud Computing Investment。拜登政府認為，米諾尼農靠近美國核導彈裝置構成了安全威脅。官員們擔心該公司可能會使用該設施來監視軍事活動。

While the Arkansas bill was rejected, similar concerns about foreign-owned mining facilities have been raised in other parts of the country. Lawmakers have debated whether crypto mining companies should be allowed to operate near sensitive locations, particularly when their ownership structures raise national security questions.

儘管阿肯色州的法案被拒絕，但在該國其他地區提出了對外國礦業設施的類似擔憂。議員們已經辯論了是否應允許加密礦業公司在敏感地點附近運營，尤其是當他們的所有權結構提出國家安全問題時。

Despite these concerns, crypto mining continues to grow in the U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed strong support for Bitcoin mining, stating that all future Bitcoin mining should take place in the country. The U.S. currently accounts for over 40% of global crypto mining.

儘管有這些擔憂，但在美國總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）仍在增長加密礦山（Crypto）對比特幣開採表示強烈的支持，並指出，所有未來的比特幣採礦都應在該國進行。美國目前佔全球加密礦業開采的40％以上。

To address criticism about energy consumption and environmental harm, mining companies have started developing more sustainable technology. At CES 2025, mining hardware manufacturer Canaan unveiled a Bitcoin miner that also functions as a home heater. This aims to make mining operations more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.

為了解決對能源消耗和環境危害的批評，礦業公司已開始開發更可持續的技術。在CES 2025年，採礦硬件製造商Canaan推出了一名比特幣礦工，該礦工也可以用作家用加熱器。這旨在使採礦業更節能和環保。
