xAI runs Mississippi data center on eight converted jet engine turbines
xAI is powering a Mississippi data center using eight repurposed General Electric jet turbines converted by ProEnergy, each capable of producing up to 50 megawatts. State permits allow a 25% higher limit on volatile organic compound emissions, and the Southern Environmental Law Center has challenged the approval, arguing xAI hasn't shown the turbines meet standards for pollutants like formaldehyde and has undercounted projected emissions.
