Elon Musk’s Colossus 2 data center installed 59 natural gas turbines without permission, report claims — thousands of tons of pollutants reportedly impact black communities in Mississippi already suffering from elevated lung disease rates

Estimates suggest that about half of the unpermitted turbines generate 2,500 tons of NOx, 4,000 tons of CO, and 22 tons of formaldehyde every year.

    That is where you are, unfortunately, wrong. The generators may be used under the pretext of being incase the power grid fails. However even under circumstances where they shouldn’t need to be operated. And I shall repeat myself here, only seems to be done in black and brown communities to harm the environment in those specific areas. So, no. It is not “supreme neglect”, but done with intent and with prejudice to the minority groups who were already living in the area.

    TLDR: No it’s racism, you shill.
