1. Elon Musk's AI startup xAI plans to build a solar farm next to its Colossus data center in Memphis, covering approximately 88 acres. The solar farm is expected to produce around 30 megawatts of electricity.

2. Controversy surrounds xAI due to the operation of over 400 megawatts of natural gas turbines without permits, with allegations of NOX pollution emissions and increased health issues in nearby Boxtown, a predominantly Black community.

3. Despite ongoing criticism, xAI has recently secured a permit to operate 15 turbines until January 2027, and it intends to build a larger solar farm and battery system elsewhere, for which it received a $439 million federal award from the US Department of Agriculture.
