"xAI's continued operation of these turbines without a permit and without adequate pollution controls is not only illegal, it's an insult to families living nearby who for months have expressed serious concerns about how air pollution from the company's personal power plant could impact their health and well-being."
"Operating these turbines without an air permit also violates the Clean Air Act, which requires sources of pollution to be permitted before being operated or constructed."
The NAACP is suing xAI and its subsidiary MZX Tech for allegedly operating 27 unpermitted methane gas turbines at the Colossus 2 data center in South Memphis. The lawsuit claims this operation violates the Clean Air Act, which mandates air permits for pollution sources. The turbines emit harmful pollutants linked to serious health issues, raising concerns for nearby residents. The NAACP seeks a court declaration of violations, cessation of turbine use, and financial penalties. The lawsuit follows xAI's failure to respond to a 60-day notice of intent to sue.
