CounterPunch.org | The Troubling Precedent of Federal Immunity for Corporate Pollution by Matt Sedlar

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

The article reports that the Department of Justice has asked a federal court to dismiss the NAACP’s lawsuit against Elon Musk’s xAI over its “Colossus” gas‑turbine plant, arguing that the turbines are essential for data centers that run the AI tool Grok—deemed critical to U.S. military operations in Iran—and that federal policy, national‑security interests, and the public‑interest outweigh local environmental concerns, even asserting that citizens lack standing to sue under the Clean Air Act. The case stems from complaints by residents of Memphis’s predominantly Black Boxtown neighborhood, who say the methane‑burning turbines emit nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides and carbon monoxide linked to asthma, heart disease and cancer, with measured pollutant levels rising sharply after the plant’s installation. The DOJ’s stance mirrors a recent Supreme Court ruling in Plaquemines v. Chevron, which framed corporate environmental liabilities as federal matters when tied to government contracts, potentially granting corporations a special shield that weakens local regulatory power. The article warns that such precedents could erode community protections against corporate pollution unless state regulators or a more environmentally focused administration intervene.

I am a federally cleared programmer, turned #whistleblower

I spoke against the #VA and #AccentureFederalServices and pointed out corruption and mismanagement of funds. I fight for the rights of #veterans

I have been persecuted, and homeless since 2023.

I am presently in #Japan , seeking political asylum.

My whistleblower story is here:

https://whistleblower.lovestoblog.com/

I thought that I would be safe from persecution, once I got to Japan. This turned out to be wrong.

I ran out of the funds I came here with, in February 2026, and have been #homeless here since.

I turned to every refugee assistance I could find: #JAR, #AAR, #RHQ, #FRESC, #UNHCR , the #Shinagawa City Ward Office. They all denied me assistance.

Second Harvest gave me 5 food packages, over two months, each of which lasts 2-3 days.

The #Takanawa #Catholic #Church was feeding me 1 meal a day, though now they have stopped even that.

When I reported to Mr. Takaii, a priest at #Meguro Catholic Church, that I had been abused by a Catholic Charity in #Kona , #Hawaii ( documented in the link above ), he suddenly told me he did not speak any English, though we had met a few times, and had several conversations, and he speaks English fluently.

This is probably because I asked him to respond to my critique of #Christianity in general:

https://rant.li/ashwin/why-i-am-also-not-a-christian

The #corruption at the heart of the Catholic church and Christianity could not be more profound.

The #Pope has condemned #war and called for #peace , and scored cheap #poltical points against #Trump , though he has not called on all #Catholics to resign from the military, and stop participating in war. His apologia are crocodile tears.

I am presently hungry, homeless, and need of medical care.

The Japanese #Immigration Bureau keep asking me why I have "overstayed my visa". I keep responding that while my asylum application is pending, I am not overstaying in Japan. Japan is in violation of #International #Law ( 1951 & 1967 convention on the treatment of #refugees ). They can easily extend my visa, so I can get medical care and food. I have reported to them several times that I am in pain, and need food. They keep on harassing me.

It seems to me that the #JapanPM has decided to make same mistake that Japan made in #WW2 - siding with #corruption

Please boost this message.

Also please advise where I may turn for immediate help.

Pentagon AI chief Cameron Stanley, in a sworn DOJ filing defending #xAI from an #NAACP pollution lawsuit over the Colossus 2 data center near Memphis, stated that Elon Musk's #Grok Gov Model was used to deploy "over 2,000 munitions to 2,000 distinct targets within 96 hours" during Operation Epic Fury against #Iran. The filing argues the data center is vital to national security. Sen. Gillibrand has introduced a bill to ban #LLMs from making force/detention decisions without human oversight. The Independent adds that this is the first explicit administration admission of using Musk's AI to bomb Iran, and notes the strike on a Minab girls' school killing ~175 children amid scrutiny of AI-driven targeting.

https://thehill.com/policy/technology/5928204-pentagon-musk-grok-chatbot-iran-strikes/

[...] “Right now, the Pentagon is moving toward deploying incredibly powerful AI technology without commonsense guardrails in place, which could have catastrophic consequences that make all of us less safe,” she added.

That's exactly the point, isn't it? For one thing, AI is not a technology - it's a grab bag of statistical tricks, none of which deserve the label 'incredibly powerful.' LLMs are known for producing plausible-sounding nonsense; they are bad at most of what they're asked to do. And in warfare, plausible-sounding nonsense means plausible-sounding target lists. War crimes are still war crimes, no matter how polished the list of targets that justifies them. Nobody who cares about human life wants that. Only someone who hates humanity would deploy it, and that's exactly what Musk and the Trump regime are doing.

-> When filed, the xAI #DataCenter was illegally using 27 #GasTurbines, spewing #pollution & poisonous #chemicals. Since then, the #SELC (Southern #Environmental Law Center) "obtained emails showing that xAI added even more #turbines after the #lawsuit was filed, bringing the total number to 57."
