xAI is under fire for running over 400 MW of gas turbines without permits, which environmental groups say could emit 2,000+ tons of NOx annually. Residents of nearby Boxtown — a predominantly Black community — report rising asthma cases after nitrogen dioxide levels jumped 79% following xAI’s operations.
