Residents file lawsuit challenging noise pollution from Elon Musk's data center (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Now to Memphis, Tennessee, along the Mississippi border, where noise is a constant companion for residents. They live near Elon Musk's xAI data center campus. That data center runs Grok, the AI chatbot from Musk's social media platform, X. From member station WPLN, Caroline Eggers reports. CAROLINE EGGERS, BYLINE: The sprawling xAI campus looks like a small boomtown. Buses transport workers in and out all day amid clouds of construction dust. There are fences, security personnel and signs that w
TVA broke law in building Kingston gas plant, court ruling finds (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Tennessee Valley Authority broke the law in building a gas plant in East Tennessee, a federal court has ruled. The public utility committed to spending billions of dollars on gas infrastructure next to its Kingston Fossil Plant in Roane County years before formally deciding to build it.

The utility is planning to grow its energy capacity by between 30% and 85% by 2040 to meet forecasted demand driv
Will utility bills rise from data centers? TVA’s rate change leaves public guessing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Tennessee Valley Authority changed the way it charges data centers for electricity this week, but the utility did not show its math on how it will protect people from higher bills. During a two-hour meeting organized on PowerPoint, a TVA official showed a single slide about the rate change to the TVA Board, the utility’s regulator. The only information provided to the public was that the new rate will cost data centers about 10% more than they would have paid, and TVA is adding an additional
