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.

    Would it matter if it was near 100k white instead of 100k black residents?
    No, 100k residents are actively being harmed.

        Bruh.
        Sure thing buddy. If that makes you feel better?

        I see humans. Not black, white, yellow, rainbow colored humans.

        Minorities are oppressed and fucked with. That is for sure. Needing to call it “black” in a headline instead of “minority” is cloaked racism in of itself.

          And that’s great for you. But had nothing to do with what I said as the original answer.

          So clean your digital ears out a bit, and maybe repetition (with free bonus expansion) will help.

          The point was specifying Elon’s particular flavor of oppression.

          Had nothing to do with speaking Lemmy controversy, or hinting that one kind of racism was worse than another.

          Hoping you get the point now.

          So you are ok with writing “… placed near oppressed community” but not specifying what group?
