Old, #Polluting #JetEngines Are Being Scavenged to Power #DataCenters

By Hiroko Tabuchi, Nov 3, 2026

Excerpt: "They’re rapidly being converted into generators to meet #AI ’s insatiable demand for electricity.

" #Environmentalists call it a step backward.Jet engines are a plentiful and untapped source. In January, the federal Energy Information Administration said that the engines from the 4,000 old military jets it parks at a single desert base in Tucson could create 40,000 megawatts of power. That’s more than the generation capacity of the entire state.

"But repurposed aircraft turbines tend to be less efficient and more polluting than engines designed for conventional gas-burning plants. And data centers need more jet-powered generators to produce the same amount of electricity.

" #ElonMusk ’s A.I. company, #xAI , has installed eight converted turbines in #Mississippi to power one of its massive #datacenters , according to permits with the state and satellite imagery, both reviewed by The New York Times. The generators have state permission to emit #CarbonMonoxide at twice the rate of other turbines at the site. The permits also allow a 25 percent higher limit for pollutants known as volatile organic compounds. Both carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds pose significant health risks."
