Shut off their water lines, cut off their power, cancel trash collection, and close their roads. Failure to abide by the laws regulating infrastructure means they don't deserve infrastructure.

    Eeehhh, how about you just arrest the owner? Mich more effective and a lot less work involved

    Plus, when I break the law, I go to jail. Same here

    It's owned by a corporation. Corporations have the rights of a person. But unlike actual people, you can't arrest a corporation.

    Not with that attitude. Corporations are made up of actual people that make these decisions. Arrest them.

    There were efforts to move down the anti-trust path when Biden was President. But too many Americans voted for a billionaire convicted of fraud, and all investigations into any billionaire disappeared and those that were already convicted of crimes were pardoned.

    You can think it's my attitude that caused this but really it's ignorance that made things this way.

    "Officer. I will not blow into that breathalyzer for another year!". Enforcement of the law works differently, depending on which end of the socio-economic scale you live on.

    And when you're a star rich, they let you do it. You can do anything.

    The company claims that it is allowed to operate the existing turbines without permits

    xAI has been operating gas turbines that have the potential to emit more than 2,000 tons of smog-forming NOx per year.

    the Department of Justice sided with SpaceX in the NAACP’s lawsuit, saying the unpermitted turbines were a matter of “national, economic, and energy security.”

    just another case of "I'm rich, therefore, the law doesn't apply to me." And the 1000% corrupt DOJ turning around and being like "yeah, actually, that's true."

    With SpaceX we actually have a company that has a real incentive to wreck the planet and that should have everyone concerned.

    I get what you're saying, but it's still harder to live in space or on Mars than to try to fix Earth. What I'm saying is that SpaceX would have to be run by a complete idiot for them to think they have an incentive to ruin the planet...... Wait.... It is run by a complete idiot.

    Time to remove SpaceX from the Planet

    And this is why they get rid of oversight. A Simple inspection of the plans or work to be done would have showed these turbines before they were ever built.

    I doubt they’ll be removed.

    Because the filthy rich can do literally anything they want, and there's no one waiting to stop them.

    If learning that recently surprised you, you're not alone.

    The only reason Madoff went to prison is because he stole from rich people.

    Now that Trump is involved it may never happen.

    The obvious course of action in a sensible society would be to fine them 0.01$ on day one, 0.02$ on day 2, 0.04$ on day 3, then 0.08$ and so on. Until the turbines have been removed.
