#polluting — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #polluting, aggregated by home.social.

  1. #ElonMusk’s #xAI is being sued for using #polluting #generators at its #datacentre near Memphis. Despite the lawsuit, xAI plans to buy $2.8 billion more #turbines, including $2 billion worth of mobile #gasturbines, which are currently under scrutiny for violating #airpollution regulations. techcrunch.com/2026/05/20/musk #AIagent #AI #ML #NLP #LLM #GenAI

  2. @DoomsdaysCW I have to tell you that I simply don't believe in so-called "green technology". It is subject to the Law of Unintended Consequences, & is a diversion from what we should be doing - using less #plastic, fewer #chemicals, no #fossilfuels, & NOT #destroying & #polluting our #environment! We need to put the #IPAT #equation in reverse, see: jstor.org/stable/27844882 (Holdren, JP & Ehrlich, PR, American Scientist, 62[3]:282-292, May-June, 1974).

  7. Revealed: the world’s worst mega-leaks of #methane driving #globalheating
    The super-#polluting plumes from #oil and #gas facilities have a colossal heating impact on the #climate but often result from poor maintenance and can be simple to fix, making lack of action maddening. The assessment found dozens of mega-leaks, each having the same global heating impact as a coal-fired power station.

  12. Sometimes, but not often, I come upon what I (sarcastically) call "the cultural landscape" because for some reason it's most common around the offical trails that have plaques bragging about the value of the local "cultural landscape" 🤔😒

  16. From 2024: Locals Say #SpaceX Is #Polluting #SacredLand. This Project Aims to Preserve It.

    “This wasn’t just something we wanted to do,” said 35-year-old Monica Sosa, who grew up in #BrownsvilleTX, a short drive from #BocaChica Beach. “We felt like we needed to do it.”

    by Cat Cardenas October 30, 2024

    "Among the #CarrizoComecrudo people of Texas, it is said that the state’s rivers are like ancestors. As they flow toward the sea, they bring their abundance, their beauty, and their knowledge with them. In South Texas, the place where these rivers meet and empty into the Gulf of Mexico is a sacred life source — the location they believe to be the birthplace of the first woman. Today, most Brownsville locals know it as #BocaChicaBeach — a public stretch of sand located at the end of #Highway4, along the southernmost edge of the Texas coast. But to many people outside of the #RioGrandeValley, that land, its name, and its history have largely been swallowed up by the operation of the #RocketLaunch facility just up the road: SpaceX’s #Starbase.

    "Growing up a short drive from Boca Chica Beach in Brownsville, 35-year-old Monica Sosa told The Barbed Wire she still remembers it as an escape: a piece of unspoiled coastline that was free for everyone to enjoy. On lazy summer weekends, she and her siblings would hop into her mom’s blue Chevrolet Astro van. The back seats pulled down to make room for more passengers as they stopped to pick up more family. Once there, they’d look forward to hours and hours of endless sunshine, and a cooler packed full of ham and cheese sandwiches, sodas, Cheetos, and fruit.

    "As an adult, many of those happy memories have turned bittersweet. The beach, while still free to the public, is frequently plagued by the closure of Highway 4 each time there’s a rocket launch or other 'space flight activities.' And even when it’s open, the construction has fundamentally changed the landscape: There’s a tall metal SpaceX launch and catch pad towering over the once-untouched sand dunes.

    " 'Boca Chica was bliss,' Sosa said earlier this month. 'I came from a working class family, and being out there was one of the only times we would come together and play. We’d be in the water, sitting in the sun, running through the lomas (hills), or burying each other in sandcastles. You could spend the whole day out there. But now there’s someone who has the right and the ability to privatize a beach that people have used for decades and decades.'

    "SpaceX’s operation in the Rio Grande Valley has been far from smooth. In recent years, they’ve been cited by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality for multiple violations of #wastewater regulations and been the subject of multiple legal complaints. The company has disputed these claims as 'factually inaccurate' and has been allowed to continue their operations.

    "In April of this year, multiple Valley-based environmental groups filed a lawsuit against the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department over a proposed land swap that would grant 43 acres of #BocaChicaStatePark to #SpaceX in exchange for land near Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge. In addition to their concerns about #pollution, the groups also argued that the land proposed in the swap was sacred to the #CarrizoComecrudoTribe.

    " 'SpaceX has always been polluting,' Christopher Basaldú, a member of the Carrizo/Comecrudo Tribe told the Texas Tribune, which first reported on the allegations. 'And I think people are kind of brainwashed into thinking that rockets — constructing rockets, testing rockets and blowing up rockets — that somehow that’s not causing pollution.' "

    #Trump administration opens more land for #CoalMining, offers $625M to boost #coal-fired power plants

    WASHINGTON (AP) — "The Trump administration said Monday it will open 13 million acres of federal lands for coal mining and provide $625 million to recommission or modernize coal-fired power plants as President Donald Trump continues his efforts to reverse the years-long decline in the U.S. coal industry.

    "Actions by the Energy and Interior departments and the Environmental Protection Agency follow executive orders Trump issued in April to revive coal, a reliable but #polluting energy source that’s long been shrinking amid environmental regulations and competition from cheaper natural gas.

    "#Environmental groups denounced the actions, which come as the Trump administration has clamped down on renewable energy, including freezing permits for offshore wind projects, ending #CleanEnergy tax credits and blocking #wind and #solar projects on federal lands.

    "Under Trump’s orders, the Energy Department has required fossil-fueled power plants in Michigan and Pennsylvania to keep operating past their retirement dates to meet rising U.S. power demand amid growth in data centers, artificial intelligence and electric cars. The latest announcement would allow those efforts to expand as a precaution against possible electricity shortfalls."
