原文:Musk’s xAI is running nearly 50 gas turbines unchecked at its Mississippi data center
简介
埃隆·马斯克 (Elon Musk) 的 xAI 在其密西西比州数据中心运行着近 50 台天然气涡轮机,由于存在漏洞,该州目前并未对这些发电厂进行监管。
The power plants are considered “mobile” by the state of Mississippi because they are sitting on flatbed trailers, thus allowing them to dodge to air pollution regulations for one year.代表该地区居民提起诉讼的全国有色人种协进会表示,涡轮机未经控制的排放正在恶化本已污染地区的空气质量。本周,它向法院请求针对 xAI 的禁令。
问题在于涡轮机的“移动”性质。 The Southern Environmental Law Center, which filed the lawsuit on behalf of the NAACP, says the turbines are being operated in violation of federal law, which says that power plants mounted on a trailer can still be considered stationary and subject to air pollution regulations.
XAI 已获得 15 台涡轮机的许可证。 A Greater Memphis Chamber of Commerce press release previously said that “about half” of the 35 turbines in operation in May 2025 would remain on site.然而,xAI 的安装量仍在继续增加。据当地新闻报道,目前该公司已运营 46 家。
