A New York Times series on the Trump administration's weakening of environmental protections reports that companies are stripping jet engines from retired airliners in Arizona's desert boneyards and converting them into generators that power-hungry data centers are buying up. Elon Musk's xAI has installed converted turbines in Mississippi with higher emission limits, drawing a lawsuit from the Southern Environmental Law Center on behalf of the NAACP, while the Trump administration has sided with xAI and urged data centers to generate their own power.
