     Dec 15, 2025

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The Memphis and Shelby County Air Pollution Control Board have voted against the XAI permit appeal.

The board voted 6 to 1 against citizens in the appeal.

In July, the Shelby County Health Department approved the use of 15 permanent natural gas turbines at Elon Musk’s XAI supercomputer.

Community members shared their concerns about how they believed the turbines would negatively impact people’s health in the community.

Today the board failed the XAI permit appeal.
