      Not really. If he has permissions for a temporary install, it is above board. He just needs to get a permanent permit before moving to a long term generator instead of temporary fixes.

      Should the permissions have been blocked? Now that’s a diff question

        So you’re just going to parrot Elon Musk’s public statement about why he doesn’t need permission? Get outta here!

        He has more than 2x as many turbines than is allowed for a temporary install. The article makes it abundantly clear that these things are illegal.

        Musk doesn’t have permission to do this, no matter what excuse he gives.

      While I hate being cold to peoples suffering, didn’t most of them vote for the face eating leopard party. They asked for their corporate overlords personal profit to be protected from their lungs, their environment, any consideration. They asked for billionaires to be above the law.

      They are clearly being wronged here, there should be heavy fines, shutdowns and even jail time but my empathy is in short supply

        Blacks typically vote mostly for Democrats while whites typically vote for Republicans. So black neighborhoods are commonly not getting representation.

        Mississippi is about as Jim Crow as it can possibly be, so it doesn’t surprise me if white supremacist elected officials are pushed into office via gerrymandering, voter suppression and election tampering.

        The other side of the duopoly would be doing the same, they both need to be removed.

          People are downvoting because they can’t reconcile one side being better than the other with both sides being bad. Is sacrificing citizens for AI companies a partisan issue? Does the mainstream democratic party oppose the unsustainable construction of data centers and what happens to people near those data centers?
