A local health The department in the Memphus has given the Elon Musk’s Zee Data Center an air permit to operate gas turbines, which strengthens the company’s Groke Chat Boat. The permit has emerged between a widespread opposition to the community and a growing trial, alleging that the company violated the Clean Air Act.
After receiving hundreds of public comments, the Shelby County Health Department issued its air permit for the Zee Project on Wednesday. The news was first reported by the Daily Memphine.
In June, the Memphus Chamber of Commerce announced that Zee had chosen a site in the Memphis to build his new supercomputer. The company’s website is proud that it has been able to build a supercomputer, coles in just 122 days. This speed partially due to mobile gas turbines, the company began to install rapidly on campuses, a site of a former manufacturing facility.
Colasus soon allowed rivals to catch rivals, Google, and humanity in the construction of modern artificial intelligence. It was built using 100,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUS, making it the largest supercomputer in the world.
Zee’s Memphus Campus is a mainly located in the Kali community, known as Boxistown, which has historically been burdened with industrial projects that cause pollution. Using gas turbines in Zee refusal, nitrogen oxide can be an important source of harmful emissions, which produces smog. Tennessee already has some asthma rates. Ever since Zee started running his turbines, residents repeatedly met and rallied against the project.
“I am scared but don’t surprise,” says Kishun Pierreon, leader of the Memphs community against pollution. “The clear violation of the Clean Air Act and our human rights cleared, by burning illegal methane turbines, the Shelby County Department of Health has justified.
Under the Clean Air Act, the “large” sources of emission – such as a cluster of gas turbines, require a permit, known as the main deterioration (PSD) permit. However, Shelby County Health Department officials told local reporters in August that it was not necessary for Zee because its turbine was not designed to be permanent. Increasing the local opposition, Zee finally applied for a permit with the Shelby County Department of Health in January, months later, he started running the turbines.
Last month, the NAACP and the Southern Environment Law Center (SELC) announced that they intend to prosecute Zee for violating the Clean Air Act.
“Zai’s decision to install and run dozens of pollution gas turbines without any permit or public surveillance is a clear violation of the Clean Air Act,” said Patrick Anderson, a senior SELC senior attorney. “Over the past year, these turbines have eliminated pollution, which threatens the health of the families of the Memphis. This notice paved the way for the case that may be accountable for illegal refusal to obtain permits for its gas turbines.”
