SpaceX plans $24B gas-powered data center in Starbase, Texas
Starbase, Texas has posted notice of a public hearing for a gas-fired power plant and supercomputing facility within city limits, with an initial price tag of $24 billion. The facility is reportedly tied to SpaceXSI and would sit in a town largely owned by SpaceX and populated mainly by its employees, following earlier gas-powered data center builds near the Mississippi-Tennessee border that drew a lawsuit from nearby residents over pollution.
