🎒🇨🇦 Canadian Elementary School Sues Crypto Miner Over Constant Noise Pollution
Lake Superior Academy, a school focused on outdoor learning, has filed a lawsuit against crypto mining firm Odessa Partners, citing an unbearable metallic whine 24/7 from the site.
📢 The noise, compared to a “chorus of mechanical insects”, reportedly hits 75 decibels — louder than a vacuum cleaner — and has disrupted outdoor lessons and halted expansion plans.💼 The mining site is linked to Florida businessman Michael Carbonara. Despite court-ordered pauses and hay bales for noise reduction, the school says it’s not enough.
👩🏫 “There’s a huge difference between a loud truck going by and constant noise,” says Superintendent Schlehuber.
🧠 This case could shape how environmental impact is weighed in the age of decentralized tech.
