Somerville Residents Face Bitcoin Mine | Huntsville News

Somerville residents are fighting back against a proposed 50-megawatt bitcoin mining center, eyeing the smaller, quieter Russellville facility run by Synergy South as a cautionary glimpse of what’s coming — and they’re not impressed. While VoltCore has experience with these operations, including a similar site in North Alabama, Somerville’s neighbors fear constant fan noise, residential disruption, and the sheer scale of the planned operation on Union Road — a quiet street unlike the industrial Jackson Avenue in Russellville. Visits to the Russellville site reveal it’s isolated and far from homes, but locals worry that won’t be the case in their neighborhood. With no official complaints yet from Russellville’s neighbors, the mayor urges locating such centers in industrial zones — but tensions in Somerville remain high as residents scramble for answers before the big one arrives.
