Lithium giant's free car wash proposal 'ironic' for dust-covered town
By Neve BrissendenResidents plagued by dust from Australia's oldest and largest lithium mine say a plan for a free car wash by the mine's owner misses the mark.

"xAI has added 19 natural gas turbines to its second data center campus in Southhaven, Mississippi, over the past two months, according to internal emails seen by WIRED.
The additions come as xAI is fighting a lawsuit from the NAACP and several environmental groups, alleging that the company is violating the Clean Air Act by operating more than two dozen natural gas turbines at the site without appropriate air permits.
Emails between an official in the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality and a representative from Trinity Consultants, obtained via a public records request by the Southern Environmental Law Center and shared with WIRED, show that xAI installed 19 portable gas turbines on its site in Southaven between late March and early May. That brings the total to 46 turbines operating at the site.
Featured Video
A spreadsheet included in the email to MDEQ, has a column labeled “Total Power Output” that appears to list the megawatt capacity of each turbine on the site. xAI appears to have added more than 500 megawatts of natural gas turbines since mid-March."https://www.wired.com/story/xai-adds-19-new-gas-turbines-despite-ongoing-lawsuit/

The Conversation: Using diesel generators to power the AI revolution would kill hundreds of Americans a year. “The exact results varied with each simulation and with a range of assumptions about emissions from diesel generators. But in general, we found that using backup diesel generators this way would cause about 500 more premature deaths per year in the U.S. compared with getting the same […]

Short version: #DAC is not the panacea it's presented as, and deployment of DAC instead more renewable systems is no beneficial.
