After two days of testimony, Mississippi's Environmental Quality Permit Board voted on Nov 10 to uphold the air permit for SpaceXSI's permanent Southaven power plant, clearing a major regulatory hurdle. The project includes 41 permanent natural gas turbines totaling 1.2 GW of capacity, dedicated to feeding SpaceXSI's expanding compute infrastructure including Colossus II. The race for superintelligence is also an energy race, and this keeps scaling on track.
