No such thing as a trade-off free source of energy, but this sounds like a pretty good deal.
Center Square (7/10/25) reports: "Memphis residents are getting a chance to tell Mayor Paul Young and council members how they want tax dollars from the xAI over the next six weeks, but a cloud still hangs over the project. Elon Musk’s xAI supercomputer was announced last year and unlike other projects, it is not receiving tax breaks. An ordinance before the Memphis City Council would invest 25% of the tax revenue into communities within five miles of the project and into another community that is the site of a future project. The money would go toward fixing roads, improving or adding sidewalks and affordable housing and home repairs, according to Young...Thomas Pyle of the American Energy Alliance said he trusts that the city wants projects that do not harm the community. 'With all energy projects there are trade-off,' Pyle said in an interview with The Center Square. 'But with today's technology and today's environmental regulations and laws both at the federal and state level, we have seen a measurable improvement in the very pollutants that are being referred to in the Law Center's threatened lawsuit. It's also interesting and ironic that the law center wants to confuse the public. Clearly they tested for ozone, they tested for components of the ozone. And they determined that they were OK with the project.'"
