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.

    This would be a great time for an injunction to force the data center to shut down all of those turbines until the matter has been resolved legally.

    Of course you need to be able to pay for a lawyer who convinces a judge to pass that injunction.

      House Republicans include a 10-year ban on US states regulating AI in ‘big, beautiful’ bill

      We’re at a point where we have to ask whether laws passed are legal.

      A judge that Musk and Trump have bought? Or a real judge? Do you have any of those left?

        I’m pretty sure that if a judge would grant that injunction there’d be one less a week later.
