Comment on Pollution from Musk's unpermitted xAI power project hits in Black communities

Comments

Natural gas generators are sometimes converted aviation high bypass turbofan engines. By running many of them, such a site creates a lot of local noise, chemical vapor, and particulate pollution.

The ones being put in now are also worst-case inefficient, noisy ones due to a shortage - well, complete absence really since they've all been sucked up into data centers - of more efficient, (relatively) quieter ones.
