[U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee Requests SpaceX to Open Memphis AI Data Center for Inspection] According to CNBC, Frank Pallone, the ranking Democratic member of the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee, sent a letter to SpaceX CEO Elon Musk on July 29, requesting that records of the xAI Memphis Data Center be provided and the facility be opened for inspection by August 11. Frank Pallone accused SpaceX of operating natural gas-powered turbines to supply energy to the Colossus and Colossus 2 data centers without obtaining proper permits or installing pollution control equipment, posing health risks to surrounding communities. The Trump administration's Department of Justice has filed to intervene in support of xAI against lawsuits brought by environmental organizations and the NAACP.
