Alabama Homeowners Turn Down Free Cash and Internet to Block Bitcoin Mining Data Center

Residents in Somerville, Alabama, are strongly opposing Voltcore's plan to build a Bitcoin mining data center, rejecting incentives like cash and free internet. They are concerned about potential noise, traffic, and power lines, arguing it will destroy their peaceful rural environment. With a lack of specific zoning laws for data centers in unincorporated Morgan County, residents are urging the county commission to establish new regulatory protections.
