Keep in mind as Elon Musk implodes our federal government that his eagerness to disregard legal processes has been on full display in Memphis. Our communities deserve transparency, accountability, & protection from more toxic pollution. https://t.co/uhE1Koljtk

An xAI representative received a mixed reception and heavy skepticism from the Memphis City Council regarding the company’s plan to buy 13 city-owned acres where it will build the greywater plant.  https://t.co/NBE2zTNsYG

Memphis deserves answers. 🚨 xAI’s proposed graywater plant could impact South Memphis’ water, so who really benefits? MCAP & @ProtectAquifer are pushing back, asking the tough questions, and standing up for the community. Stay informed.

#Virginia is the 🌏 leader in data centers, but their energy demand could TRIPLE the state's electricity use and ⬆️ bills by nearly $40/month over the next 15 years. 😮 Support new VA legislation to push for clean energy, efficiency + responsible growth!
