Residents of the Norwegian municipality of Hedsel are facing a sharp increase in electricity costs due to the closure of a BTC mining farm: the cessation of the farm's operation has led to an increase in electricity costs by 20%.

The mining farm closed - income from electricity sales fell. And the compensation for this fell on the shoulders of the residents. It turns out that they complained about the farm, and in the end they received an increase in tariffs.

The situation clearly looks like a misunderstanding between the authorities and the population.

But the issue could have been solved differently:

"We mined so many bitcoins when it cost so much. And now its price has increased by this much. If we wait a little longer, we can make money!"

But the authorities decide to go the classic way: they found a problem - we close the farm, and everyone is happy. But what if we simply compensate residents for their electricity costs? At least partially. And the farm continues to operate, and people are happy. After all, a lot of money from the budget was probably spent on its creation. Maybe the problem is that the residents were not told the true goal? For example, to clearly show that with the proceeds, new roads, schools can be built, and the same electricity bills can be subsidized.

In the end, you can arrange an honest vote: what is more important - temporary inconvenience or long-term benefit for the city? Let the residents decide for themselves, because who else but them can benefit from the crypto farm.
