xAI’s Colossus 2 Power Plant Operated Without Federal Air Permits

xAI's Colossus 2 data center power plant in Southaven, Mississippi, is operating 59 natural gas turbines without federal clean air permits, significantly exceeding acknowledged numbers and emissions thresholds. This has prompted a lawsuit from the NAACP and Southern Environmental Law Center, citing severe public health risks to nearby Black communities already facing high rates of lung disease. Local residents also report significant noise pollution from the facility.
