Well, hold on to your gas masks! Elon Musk’s xAI just snagged the okay to crank up 15 natural gas turbines for a data center in Memphis. Yes, you heard that right—while some of us are trying to convince our houseplants to live, xAI is revving up generators like it’s 1999.
But let’s not skim over the juicy bits—these turbines are allowed to release nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide that are literally smog-making champions. Makes you wonder if xAI is actually an advanced AI company or just a front for a new environmental disaster movie. Spoiler alert: it’s probably both.
But that’s not all! Rumor has it that while xAI got a permit for 15 turbines, there might be 24 of the things belching smoke at their site. So, will xAI play nice and stick to the rules, or is this just the first gear in their timetable for world domination?
Stay tuned, my eco-warriors; it’s going to be a bumpy ride! 🎢
