法官驳回特朗普关于 EPA 可撤销数据中心污染诉讼的主张
Judge rejects Trump’s wild claim EPA can dismiss data center pollution lawsuits
法官驳回特朗普关于 EPA 可以自行撤销任何《清洁空气法》诉讼的主张，SpaceXAI 仍须面对 NAACP 针对其孟菲斯数据中心燃气涡轮机污染提起的诉讼。NAACP 要求法院责令该公司使用最佳可用污染控制技术，并对每项违规处以最高每天 $124,426 的罚款。
裁决没有让诉讼因特朗普主张 EPA 可自行撤销《清洁空气法》诉讼而终止，案件将继续审理，争议涉及数据中心燃气涡轮机的污染控制与处罚。
Elon Musk’s SpaceXAI is stuck facing a lawsuit over alleged data center pollution after Donald Trump failed to convince a judge that his Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has complete control over all Clean Air Act lawsuits and can dismiss any suit at whim.
Soon after unpermitted gas turbines were discovered powering Musk’s giant Colossus data center in Memphis, Tennessee, the NAACP sued. Its lawsuit sought an injunction requiring xAI (which, following a merger, is known now as SpaceXAI) to use the best available pollution control technology when operating the turbines and ordering penalties up to $124,426 per day per violation. Without such remedies, the turbines risked drastically spiking pollution in already vulnerable neighborhoods housing predominantly Black communities nearby, the NAACP argued.
To block the lawsuit, Trump tried to intervene, arguing that the EPA had the power to unilaterally dismiss lawsuits any time the president decides against enforcing the Clean Air Act. According to Trump, it would supposedly “not serve the public interest” if citizens were allowed to seek massive civil penalties to punish polluting AI firms that were trying to get data centers operational as fast as possible to support Trump’s AI Action Plan.
