An unfathomable clean air act violation. I worked in this exact field for years, including in oil and gas, and i still can't get over how wanton and obvious this crime is. Just stunning
xAI's unpermitted turbine emissions would dwarf federal permit thresholds
Potential annual emissions, in short tons, from 30 unpermitted turbines at xAI's Southaven, MS facility

Chart: Potential emissions at 80% load
Nitrogen oxide: 2,474
Carbon monoxide: 4,065
A vertical dotted line indicates the Federal permit threshold.

Note: Federal permit threshold of 100 short tons/year is based on emissions at 100% capacity. Emissions shown at 80% capacity reflect the lower end of typical operating levels for gas turbines, according to the EPA.

He said the facility would be on par with the top 25 U.S. gas plants for nitrogen oxide emissions, citing EPA data for actual emissions.

To give an example of what I mean, here's a paragraph from the Grokipedia "article" on ICE. The three citations are to The Heritage Foundation, testimony from the Executive Director of FAIR, and a report from the Center for Immigration Studies. No dissenting voices allowed on Grokipedia.
Economic and Border Security Effects
ICE's enforcement actions, including interior arrests and removals, contribute to reducing the net fiscal burden of unlawful immigration on U.S. taxpayers, which imposes an estimated annual cost of at least $110 billion after subtracting taxes paid by unlawful households.[157] Unlawful immigrants and their U.S.-born children consume public services—such as education, Medicaid, and welfare—at rates exceeding their tax contributions, with per-household net costs averaging $8,776 annually as of 2024 data.[158] By prioritizing removals of criminal noncitizens and recent arrivals, ICE operations yield fiscal savings through decreased expenditures on these services; for instance, standard economic modeling of enforcement shows net benefits to natives and legal residents from reduced unlawful population size, with surplus gains estimated at billions annually in avoided costs.[159]
