xAI installs eight converted jet engines to power Mississippi data center
Elon Musk's AI company xAI has installed eight converted jet engine turbines to supply power to its data center in Mississippi. Permits reportedly allow pollutant emissions 25 percent above standard limits, and concerns have been raised about carbon monoxide output. The project highlights the growing strain AI infrastructure places on local power grids and environmental rules.
Why now: The unusual use of jet engines as data center generators, combined with pollution concerns, is drawing attention amid the AI energy boom.
