MEMPHIS, Tennessee — Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company is belching smog-forming pollution into an area of South Memphis that already leads the state in emergency department visits for asthma.
None of the 35 methane gas turbines that help power xAI’s massive supercomputer is equipped with pollution controls typically required by federal rules.
The company has no Clean Air Act permits.
I really want people to roll up on the factory, shoot the management, and then shut it down.
This shit is a crime against the environment and humanity.
Even microscopic debris can completely destroy turbines and turbines often do not have filters for it creates a severe performamce penalty.
Just saying… This doesn’t have anything to do with this story in fact I didn’t read it. I just like saying turbine facts.
Pocket sand!
This is why there are so many stories about planes being grounded because someone tossed a coin in, according to superstition, or a nut or something fell into the compressor.
The whole turbine has to be taken apart to get the coin or it might dent something, and the whole engine then does something most exciting when the pilot tries to run it up to service speeds, as a result of the imbalance.
conservatives almost never do that kind of activism, they dont like to ruffle the feathers.
“and then burn it down” ftfy
