The discussions in local news (in nova) seem to center around: "but the noise!"
i'm sure it'll work out in the end, but ... gonna be fun to watch.
There is apparently a problem in nearby West Virginia where someone built a cryptomining facility using free air cooling and it disturbs the neighbors. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2022/03/18/bitcoin-mining-noise-poll...
arguably, people buying into the idea that blatantly flim-flamming folks aren't going to flim-flamming them is.. not related here, at all. (that article is about limestone, TN, not west virginia - west nor virginia appear in the article)
Even traditional data centers have not been known to be especially considerate about scheduling their -loud- genset tests. Doesn't matter so much in the middle of an industrial zone but when you do it near where people live you're going to make them angry.
sure, I believe the various nova parts have reasonable agreements about how/when to do these sorts of tests though.
