Mississippi drone footage exposes xAI's unpermitted gas-turbine plant amid EPA clash
Drone- and thermal-imaging investigations show xAI operating 15+ unpermitted gas-turbine units at its Southaven facility in Mississippi, despite an EPA ruling that such sources require permits; state regulators say the turbines are portable and exempt, while the EPA and environmental groups warn this violates the Clean Air Act and poses health risks as xAI seeks permits for more turbines and expansion of its Colossus datacenters.
