cross-posted from: https://infosec.pub/post/48273075

Since August of last year, Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company, xAI, has been building and operating a fleet of gas-fired combustion turbines in Memphis-area Black neighborhoods, in order to power a massive data center called Colossus. Each turbine is the size of a single-family home. 

As of five weeks ago, xAI has installed at least 57 of these turbines at the Colossus Gas Plant in Southaven, Mississippi, about 15 minutes south of Memphis. Combined, they have the potential to spew over 5,300 tons of nitrogen oxides and 430 tons of particulate matter into the atmosphere every year, among other hazardous air pollutants. 

Even short-term exposure to nitrogen oxides or particulate matter can cause hospitalization and premature death. And some communities are especially vulnerable: Scientific evidence shows that children, older adults, and people of color—especially Black people—face heightened health risks. Nearly 160,000 people live within a six-mile radius of the Colossus Gas Plant. Around 22 percent of them are children or older adults, and 77 percent are people of color. U.S. Census Bureau data further shows that many neighborhoods near the plant have a higher percentage of people of color and children than 95 percent of other census tracts.

In short, xAI is releasing a staggering amount of pollutants into the environment, precisely where it can do the most harm.

...

So, two months ago, the NAACP sued xAI and its subsidiaries, aiming to shut down xAI’s Colossus Gas Plant “unless and until they obtain the required permits.” In May, the organization also asked a federal district court for an order prohibiting operation of the plant while the case is pending. The NAACP’s filings highlight that Musk has publicly griped about how environmental regulations require polluters to get “permission in advance” rather than just “paying a penalty” later, and urge the court to stop him from treating Black people like “just one more natural resource the companies can buy and exploit in pursuit of their business goals.”

...

Now, the Trump administration is trying to come to Musk’s aid. The Clean Air Act’s provision allowing citizen enforcement also allows the EPA administrator to “intervene as a matter of right at any time in the proceeding.” And on Monday, Trump’s Department of Justice filed a motion to intervene in the NAACP’s lawsuit as the plaintiff—and to dismiss the NAACP’s suit with prejudice. 

In the memo accompanying its motion, the DOJ characterizes the NAACP’s lawsuit as a national security threat—Colossus powers Grok, an AI model that the Department of Defense uses in military operations—and contends that enforcing the Clean Air Act against xAI is not “consistent with federal policy and the public interest.” This ignores the fact that the Clean Air Act is a federal policy, enacted by Congress based on its assessment of the public interest. The DOJ further argues that the NAACP may not enforce the Clean Air Act “over the United States’ objection,” because the government’s “express and unconditional right to intervene” in a citizen suit “necessarily includes the right to unilaterally dismiss the case in its entirety.”

...

Congress created the EPA and the Clean Air Act to protect people from big companies that might steamroll them and destroy the environment. And Congress provided for citizen enforcement so that people could protect themselves. In attempting to dismiss the NAACP’s lawsuit against xAI, the Trump administration is simultaneously retreating from its legal duty to enforce Black people’s right to a livable environment, and declaring that Black people have no rights under the Clean Air Act that xAI is bound to respect.

NROL-179 (Proliferated Architecture)

The NRO's Proliferated Architecture is a reconnaissance satellite constellation built by SpaceX and Northrop Grumman for the National Reconnaissance Office to provide imaging and other reconnaissance capabilities. The NRO’s proliferated system will increase timeliness of access, diversify communication pathways, and enhance resilience. It will provide greater revisit rates and increased coverage, and eliminate single points of failure. With hundreds of small satellites on orbit, data will be delivered in minutes or even seconds. This will ensure the analysts, warfighters, and civil agencies NRO serves receive actionable information faster than ever before.
