Musks xAI wird der Umweltverschmutzung beschuldigt
Der xAI-Supercomputer "Colossus" stellt Rechenleistung für den Chatbot #Grok bereit. Das Gebäude hat die Größe von 13 Fußballfeldern, und #Musk plant, die Fläche zu verdoppeln.
[Nach Behauptungen, nur 15 der 35 Gasturbinen seien in Betrieb, hat] das Southern Environmental Law Center #SELC neue Fotos mit Wärmebildgebung gemacht. Die Fotos zeigen 33 Turbinen, die zum Zeitpunkt der Aufnahme wahrscheinlich alle in Betrieb waren. Siehe Bild ⬇

The Drinking Water Crisis That North Carolina Ignored
For decades, #DuPont dumped toxic PFAS into North Carolina’s #CapeFearRiver. Today, the local community is suffering the health consequences—and fighting back.
June 7, 2021
[...]
"The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (#NCDEQ) filed a lawsuit against #Chemours in 2017—but only in response to bad press—and last fall, the state attorney general filed another. And yet, North Carolina is currently reviewing its water quality standards, something it does every three years, but not one rule for PFAS pollution is even up for consideration. 'People know they’re being poisoned, but the state isn’t doing much about it,' Bell says.
"So residents have been taking matters into their own hands. In July 2018, #CapeFearRiverWatch, represented by the Southern Environmental Law Center (#SELC), sued the #NCDEQ to force Chemours to immediately stop polluting the Cape Fear River. The following month, the pair also filed a federal lawsuit against Chemours for violating the #CleanWaterAct and #ToxicSubstancesControlAct, but it was dropped later in the year as part of a $13 million #settlement among the NCDEQ, Cape Fear River Watch, and Chemours. The settlement resulted in a consent order that required Chemours to cease its discharges and add #scrubbers to its smokestacks to prevent airborne PFAS pollution. The outcome is a critical step in preventing future PFAS pollution, but NCDEQ has had to fine the company for not complying with the order, and its past contamination, still lingering in the #water, #soil, and peoples’ bodies, remains unaddressed."

Finally sat down to watch this excellent video on worker self-directed non-profits, which begins with a very insightful critique of dynamics in a typical non-profit.

New blog post: "Mapping the Changing Coast with the Southern Environmental Law Center."
In 2022 we had the pleasure of sitting down with #JovianSackett from the #SELC to talk about our collaboration on "The Changing Coast" and the work Jovian does more broadly. The conversation ranged from the decisions that went into making the map, communicating with data, and the data questions that keep Jovian up at night.

I just found this today while researching #selc, who has a really radical take on compensation and self-governance.
> Every member of our organization is compensated equally for their work - whether an attorney or not. That salary is based on two objective measures of our local economy - the average Oakland income and a regional living wage indicator calculated by the Economic Policy Institute.
