AI is immensely power-hungry, and Musk’s company installed dozens of gas-powered turbines, known to produce a cocktail of toxic pollutants. The company currently has no air permits, appearing to rely on a loophole for temporary turbines — but environmental groups say the exemption does not apply, and residents are angry.

This fucking egomaniacal chud causes harm everywhere he goes.

city officials all over the deep red south were probably fighting over having this in their territory, without knowing the first damn thing about a product that requires air handlers as big as houses that take up more space than some neighborhoods

Big cities are pretty liberal everywhere. Memphis is one of the most liberal voting parts of the stage.

i agree. but the voters don't necessarily always call the shots. as we've seen. time and again.

[–] Merva@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

Yet legislators seem to allow him freedom to do as he please.

All of this type of shit should be placed in primarily republican red voter districts.

I'm waiting for someone to shoot those transformers so I can laugh when it's a republican and the story gets buried like the 2nd trump assassination attempt.
