Arkansas lawmakers have introduced Senate Bill 60 (SB 60), which aims to prohibit cryptocurrency mining operations NEAR military facilities. This legislative move is driven by concerns over national security and the environmental impact of crypto mining. The bill was inspired by a recent incident in Cabot, Arkansas, where a cryptocurrency mining plant was being constructed less than five miles from the Little Rock Air Force Base. This has raised alarms among local leaders and citizens, prompting questions about the balance between technological innovation and public safety.
