NAACP asks Mississippi federal court to halt xAI gas turbines in Southaven

The NAACP has asked a Mississippi federal court to shut down gas turbines in Southaven, Mississippi, that power xAI’s Colossus 2 data center in Memphis, Tennessee, the Mississippi Free Press reported.

The civil rights group said in a court filing that the turbines are “causing harm,” the Mississippi Free Press reported. The motion seeks an order to stop the turbines from operating, according to the report.

The turbines are located in Southaven and supply power to the Colossus 2 data center across the Tennessee state line in Memphis, the Mississippi Free Press said.

The report appeared first on the Mississippi Free Press. The NAACP filing and the specific allegations are detailed in that report, which is the source for this account.
