Memphis weighs data center moratorium in city Musk’s xAI calls ‘home’ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Tennessee city that hosts Elon Musk’s data centers cleared the first hurdle toward passing a moratorium on new facilities Tuesday. The ordinance before the Memphis City Council would not apply to xAI’s existing data centers but would pause approvals of new ones until officials can consider new zoning requirements. Sponsor JB Smiley Jr., said Tuesday he decided to propose the measure after learning via social media that the company is already building a fourth data center on land it already o
Emails show how Virginia regulators downplayed data center health concerns (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Virginia’s top environmental regulator received an analysis warning of data center pollution, it took him less than five minutes to forward it to seven people on his staff. The Piedmont Environmental Council had sent the report to Michael Rolband as a courtesy two days before publicizing it in March.

It passed 18-15. The Occ
AI’s no-win choice: Using huge amounts of water or energy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Artificial intelligence has a real heat problem. Cooling next-generation computer chips for AI requires either millions of gallons of water or huge amounts of electricity. Both have ignited sharp opposition from the public. The industry’s heat trade-off threatens to deepen its unpopularity in communities where concern is growing about the financial and environmental toll of data centers. If a company chooses to save water when cooling a facility, its power needs surge. If it reduces electricity,
