Elon Musk’s Colossus 2 data center installed 59 natural gas turbines without permission, report claims — thousands of tons of pollutants reportedly impact black communities in Mississippi already suffering from elevated lung disease rates

Estimates suggest that about half of the unpermitted turbines generate 2,500 tons of NOx, 4,000 tons of CO, and 22 tons of formaldehyde every year.

    We’re talking about America here. Everything is a race issue. Its almost apartheid.

    I guess the turbines were build near a neighbourhood that mostly houses black people.

      Yeah OK, I take your point.

      I don’t disagree with that. Generally the way I see it is the capitalists love identity based politics cause it divides us but really we have a lot of common struggles. I’m not saying I am going to pretend to understand totally what its like to be black in America and I see that are different challenges but I don’t want to lose focus on the primary issue which is wealth inequality
