Coalition asks EPA for assistance regulating crypto
GLEN ROSE — As crypto mining operations expand across Texas, rural communities are quickly considering the potential risks of these unfamiliar energy-intensive facilities with few long-term apples-to-apples studies to reference and limited municipal power to regulate them. The National Coalition Against Cryptomining recently sent a letter to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin, calling for federal oversight of the cryptomining industry to manage environmental and economic impacts, allegedly substantiated by various studies across the United States and referenced in local city council meetings, county commissioners court, and judicial hearings.
