00:00It's Benzinga bringing Wall Street to Main Street.
00:02The NAACP filed a federal lawsuit accusing Elon Musk's XAI of violating the Clean Air Act by
00:09operating unpermitted gas turbines at a South Haven, Mississippi site that supplies power to
00:15its data centers, according to The Guardian. The complaint alleges dozens of methane-fueled
00:20generators were used without permits and could emit more than 1,700 tons of nitrogen oxides
00:26annually, along with other toxic chemicals. The group is seeking a court order to halt turbine use,
00:32require emissions controls, and impose daily penalties. The lawsuit follows a prior warning
00:37letter sent in June. The case also cites concerns about air quality in Memphis and broader findings
00:44that many U.S. data centers are located in areas with higher environmental burdens.
