阿肯色州参议院以国家安全问题为由，拒绝在军事基地附近禁止加密矿山的法案

阿肯色州参议院的城市，县和地方事务委员会拒绝了一项旨在防止加密矿业设施在军事基地30英里以内运营的法案。

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.

阿肯色州参议院小组拒绝了一项旨在防止加密矿业设施在军事基地内运营的法案。立法者投票反对这一措施，有效地阻止了该措施成为法律。该法案还提议撤销位于军事遗址附近的现有采矿设施的业务许可证，但该规定也被拒绝。

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.

该法案的引入是因为担心军事基地附近的加密采矿设施可能构成国家安全风险。支持该法案的立法者认为，靠近敏感军事遗址的采矿业务，包括医院和诊所，可能会损害安全性。该法案的原始文本指出，数字资产采矿给国家安全和国家安全带来了风险。

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.

该提案包括一个紧急条款，这意味着如果通过的话将立即生效。该法案的作者表明，这项措施是保护阿肯色州及其居民的必要措施。但是，尽管有这些担忧，参议院小组最终决定不进行限制。

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.

除了安全风险外，加密货币采矿还因其环境影响而面临批评。 2022年4月，23名美国立法者向环境保护署（EPA）发了一封信，引起了人们对加密矿业开采业务是否完全遵守环境法的担忧。他们质疑这些设施是否违反了《清洁空气法》和《清洁水法》。立法者还强调，采矿业务消耗大量电力，引发了人们对可持续性和污染的关注。

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.

对于居住在加密矿业设施附近的社区而言，噪声污染已成为另一个主要问题。在美国的许多地方，居民报告了有关采矿设备不断嗡嗡作响的投诉。给EPA的一封信指出，居住在纽约，田纳西州和佐治亚州等州采矿设施附近的人们遭受了巨大的噪音污染。有人说噪音影响了他们的生活质量。

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，德克萨斯州格兰伯里的居民对一家名为Mara的矿业公司提起诉讼。该诉讼声称，该设施的噪音过多引起了各种健康问题，包括疲劳，头痛，恶心，听力损失，记忆问题和心理困扰。

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.

美国政府以前已经采取了针对加密矿业设施的行动。 2024年5月，前总统乔·拜登（Joe Biden）下令在怀俄明州的弗朗西斯·E·沃伦空军基地附近拆除一个采矿设施。该设施属于拥有中国所有权的公司MineOne Cloud Computing Investment。拜登政府认为，米诺尼农靠近美国核导弹装置构成了安全威胁。官员们担心该公司可能会使用该设施来监视军事活动。

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.

尽管阿肯色州的法案被拒绝，但在该国其他地区提出了对外国矿业设施的类似担忧。议员们已经辩论了是否应允许加密矿业公司在敏感地点附近运营，尤其是当他们的所有权结构提出国家安全问题时。

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.

尽管有这些担忧，但在美国总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）仍在增长加密矿山（Crypto）对比特币开采表示强烈的支持，并指出，所有未来的比特币采矿都应在该国进行。美国目前占全球加密矿业开采的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.

为了解决对能源消耗和环境危害的批评，矿业公司已开始开发更可持续的技术。在CES 2025年，采矿硬件制造商Canaan推出了一名比特币矿工，该矿工也可以用作家用加热器。这旨在使采矿业更节能和环保。
