Judge rejects xAI’s bid to dismiss NAACP lawsuit over its gas turbines
A federal court rejected xAI's attempt to have an environmental lawsuit thrown out. The NAACP had challenged the legality of gas turbines used to power xAI's Colossus 2 data facility under the Clean Air Act. Judge Debra M. Brown determined that the turbines do not qualify as 'mobile sources' and therefore cannot claim exemption from air permit regulations, allowing the lawsuit to proceed.
Key points
