"...This spring, reports surfaced saying xAI had installed 35 gas turbines (not the 15 it had announced) near the Boxtown neighborhood of Memphis, an area that has a history of being exposed to industrial pollution.

Spent the evening stringing and doing intonation on my new favorite 3D Printed guitar. This one features a resin pour. This was a super enjoyable build and the core can be removed to swap out the body and electronics if I choose to do it in the future.

"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.

In just 11 months since the company arrived in Memphis, xAI has become one of Shelby County’s largest emitters of smog-producing nitrogen oxides, according to calculations by environmental groups whose data has been reviewed by POLITICO’s E&E News. The plant is in an area whose air is already considered unhealthy due to smog.

The turbines spew nitrogen oxides, also known as NOx, at an estimated rate of 1,200 to 2,000 tons a year — far more than the gas-fired power plant across the street or the oil refinery down the road."
