The residents are not alone in their concerns. Granbury resident Cheryl Shadden shared her experience, explaining that the 24/7 mining activities have also driven up local electricity bills. "In such a short time, Bitcoin mining has completely altered our community, for the worse," Shadden said. "The around-the-clock mining isn't just driving up our electricity bills — it's costing us our health." Shadden also expressed her frustration with the lack of action from Marathon, stating, "We feel trapped. day and night, we are subjected to relentless noise that is physically harming us. We aren't asking for much — just for Marathon to take responsibility and restore our peace and well-being."
