A reporter who covers the White House shouldn’t be weighing in on a matter like this.
This isn’t even about Scott Jennings, it doesn’t matter which party is in control.
And she’s not doing the thing where she’s talking about how objectively skilled someone is.
It’s like a personal endorsement!
![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.
