According to Mississippi Free Press (September 25), residents are offered appraisal-based purchases, plus a separate release stating they 'will be unable to recover any damages or other relief from the lawsuit'. The plant ran 69 unpermitted gas turbines as of July 31 to power xAI's nearby Tennessee data centers for Grok, and it has operated without permits since summer 2025. The case adds to the same-week pattern of AI data centers facing local penalties.
