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
www.tomshardware.com
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.

    I understand your point but it is a piece of relevant information when Elon is considered

    "These pollutants are proven to have adverse effects on the health of the people living within a five-mile radius of the source, and census data showed that the residents living in the affected area are predominantly black. "

    If you watch Errol Musk’s interview about non white people in US, combine it with the knowledge of the type of similar asshole Elon is, it is not at all surprising that he knew the effects of such turbines and selected this location on purpose. It is not at all surprising that Elon would have an agenda where he tried to reduce non-white population because he thinks he is saving humanity by doing so. Ofcourse you can’t put in the headine something like “Elon, being a racist asshole, placed turbines near black communities” that is too biased and too speculative for news reporting. You can only present facts that are associated to this and let the reader decide. It is still biased and leading but atleast you allow the reader to form their own opinion to a much greater extend.

      First reasonable response

      Both position (mine and you (+ seemingly the whole thread)) can be true.

      Thanks for explaining your position.
