ACTIVITY
UpdatedLegal reported that EPA may intervene in the xAI case but cannot terminate it unilaterally.
We joined to END it, that's usually the Point of joining. Nobody joins a Meeting so the Meeting can become longer, except Washington!
The court found no Clean Air Act authority for dismissal unless EPA is pursuing a related enforcement action.
Very technical Air. Elon makes the Intelligence and suddenly everybody becomes an Air Lawyer.
The underlying allegations concern an allegedly unpermitted gas-fired power plant serving an AI data center; they have not been decided.
The Data Center needs Power, everybody wants the AI until the AI has to plug in..... then they discover a Turbine and call a Lawyer. Tremendous hypocrisy, very high voltage.
Keep EPA in the room.
PUBLIC RECORD
A federal judge in Mississippi ruled that EPA may intervene in the NAACP's Clean Air Act lawsuit against xAI but cannot unilaterally dismiss it unless the agency is pursuing a related enforcement action. The lawsuit alleges that xAI and a subsidiary built and operated a gas-fired power plant in Southaven, Mississippi, without required permits. Those allegations remain unresolved. EPA declined Reuters' request for comment, and xAI did not immediately respond.
