Riot Blockchain is building the world’s largest crypto mining facility on a 265-acre property in the town of Corsicana, Navarro County, Texas. The company plans to power its facility through a high-voltage transmission line.
 
The new facility will be 30% larger than the company’s existing facility in Rockdale and will have a maximum capacity of 1 gigawatt. According to the report, this is enough to power 300,000 to 1 million U.S. homes and has been announced as a major economic development for the community.
 
However, the project’s announcement has provoked resistance from some of the locals. One of the things the group is most concerned about is the water usage that the facility would use to cool its equipment at a time when the county is facing a drought. Their other concerns include the potential increase in water and electricity bills.
 
For these reasons, they have organized themselves through a Facebook page called “Concerned citizens of Navarro Country” and started a petition titled “NO to Riot Bitcoin Mine in Navarro County,” which has so far gathered 635 signatures.(Finbold)

While GPU makers are reluctant to talk about sales to miners, analysts from Bitpro Consulting estimate that Ethereum miners purchased $15 billion worth of GPUs over the last 1.5 years, Bloomberg reports.
 
When combined with the prices of other parts for their mining rig (CPUs, PSUs, chassis), the amount of money spent on Ethereum mining hardware globally would look even more impressive. Miners might have consumed about 10% of discrete GPU supply in the last 1.5 years.(Tom’s Hardware)

Despite the concerns about the environmental effects of Bitcoin PoW mining, a group of United States Congress members has sent a letter to the country’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), explaining the practice actually has certain benefits.
 
Specifically, 14 members of the U.S. Congress urge the agency to pursue “a comprehensive analysis as it relates to understanding the potential environmental effects of digital asset mining,” according to the letter addressed to EPA’s Administrator Michael S. Regan, which crypto analyst Dennis Porter published in his tweet on June 17.
 
One of the co-signatories, Senator Cynthia Lummis confirmed the authenticity of the letter, dated June 16, by retweeting it.
 
As per the letter, “the United States is the global leader in financial services and technology innovation. At a time of rapid technological change, we must affirm our commitment to responsible innovation to ensure future generations of Americans continue to enjoy prosperity and opportunity.”
 
Explaining the benefits of crypto mining for the environment, the Congress members stated: “As you know, a substantial portion of digital asset miners’ energy use is based on renewable sources. Additionally, many miners use other power sources, like natural gas, that may otherwise go unused.”
 
Moreover, the letter reads that crypto mining can also have “a substantial stabilizing effect on energy grids,” as “it maintains robust baseload levels, yet it can be switched off quickly in times of peak demand.”(Finbold)
