Her doubts are rooted in a live experience: In October 2000, the huge coal mortar is poisoned from the mine’s location on the source, poisoning the Cold Water, which extends behind her home. People in Enez were unable to drink water from the tap for several months.
“Those who live in the direction of the river did not hear about it for a while, but the school system had to close for about a week until they got an alternative source of water,” she says.
To this day, many people in Enes still trust the tap water.
So when you hear the noise of the fuss about artificial intelligence, you hear something else: another promise comes at a cost. “We allowed these people to call them creators in jobs,” she said. “I do not care whether this is artificial intelligence, encryption, or anything else, we bow to them and let them tell us what they will do for our society because they are a work creator. They are not work creations, they are profit makers.”
And profit leaves a fingerprint.
Artificial Intelligence Data Centers require amazing amounts of energy– Chatgpt research uses up to 10 times more energy than regular Google Energy – and runs hot. To keep calm, these facilities consume billions of gallons of water every year. Most of that evaporates, but the population is concerned because they have faced problems with the facilities and their flow in the past, so they are concerned that these new facilities may affect fish and the land disruption. The same things that Kentucky’s residents hope to maintain.
However, some local population sees the capabilities, until progress.
“Artificial intelligence in everything we do,” said Wes Hamilton, a local businessman who has a fair share of coding mining in Kentucky. He said: “Siri, I was absent, robots – everything you can imagine must have artificial intelligence.” “Bitcoin is a single dowry. You create it. The only person who gets their salaries is the owner of the machines.”
Hamilton claims that there is a way forward as it brings data centers investors and engineers, and perhaps even companies are ready to stay. Hamilton says that all people in the world will evaporate to Kentucky. While admitting a wealth of Crypto projects in the past, he claims to be different.
When Bitcoin first arrived, legislators made generous tax exemptions to attract miners. Companies that invest more than a million dollars have been exempt from paying sales taxes on devices and electricity. After that, in March 2025, Kentucky Governor Andy Bishr took all of this and went forward by signing the Bitcoin Rights Bill in Law.
The legislation, which was designed as a defense of personal financial freedom, is designed to perpetuate the right to use digital assets in Kentucky. A previous draft went further, aimed at preventing local governments from using regional division laws to restrict encryption mining operations – a ruling on extracting resistance from environmental groups. This language was finally diluted, but the intention remains: to indicate that in Kentucky, digital extraction can continue in Kentucky.
That is why we found ourselves outside this facility in Campon, and we stare in the semicircle of the mineral buildings that are located in the trees. Mines operate throughout the night and throughout Sunday. The question that some people now ask, with Bitcoin hovering about $ 100,000 and Adult miners talk about the axis to artificial intelligenceIt is if bitcoin mining gets a second wind in Kentucky.
Bitcoin mining may return in Mohawk. Anna White said that the parties are supposed to enter the arbitration on May 12. “I hope,” told us. “I hope very much to sit and say,” a great nice plant you have there. Let’s go ahead and occupy it. “
