Nothing says »AI will build a cleaner, smarter future« quite like powering it with 62 unpermitted gas generators next to homes and schools. Microsoft gets the compute, DataOne gets a $1.07 million fine, and the neighbors get the exhaust. 🤷

One million is life changing for a petty human, but the cost of doing business for a data center.

The article states that this thing costs $17 BILLION to build. A $1 million fine is less than a drop in a bucket here, that’s just giving the finger to the people.

A one million dollar fine? What a gas? That’s just the cost of doing business to them.

It’s like fining Epstein $100. $500 million dollar fine. All C level execs caned for 100 strokes publicly. Top investors guillotined in public. That’s how you make this stop.

It’s all just performative to make you think as if the government actually cares. The fine they receive is another kickback (bribe) for allowing the company to build the thing in the first place.

In Mississippi and Louisiana this is allowed as long as the nearby neighborhoods are poor and/or non-white.
