xAI gets permits for 15 natural gas generators at Memphis data center
County regulators yesterday granted xAI permits to operate 15 natural gas turbines at its data center outside Memphis, despite the threat of a lawsuit. Elon Musk's AI company has been operating as many as 35 generators without permits, the Southern Environmental Law Center (SELC) said. Altogether, they're capable of producing up to 421 megawatts of electricity. The legal organization has said that it will sue xAI for violations of the Clean Air Act on behalf of the NAACP. The company recently raised $10 billion, split evenly between debt and equity. The permit issued by the Shelby County Health Department says that xAI can operate 15 Solar SMT-130 generators with certain emissions controls, which can generate up to 247 megawatts. The company has already been operating eight of the same model without permits, according to the SELC, though the group added that the ones in operation do have the appropriate pollution controls. Under the conditions of the permit, xAI will be still allowed to emit significant amounts of pollution on a rolling 12-month basis, including 87 tons of smog-forming NOx, 94 tons of carbon monoxide, 85 tons of volatile organic compounds, 73 tons of particulate pollution, and nearly 14 tons of hazardous air pollutants, including 9.8 tons of formaldehyde, a known carcinogen. The company is required to keep its own emissions records. Before the permit was issued, a Memphis community group said that it had $250,000 in funds to pay for an independent air quality study. The City of Memphis performed its own air quality testing in June, though the SELC raised several concerns about the way the tests were carried out. The testing contractor did not measure ozone levels, the SELC noted, and the tests were done on days when the wind was blowing xAI's pollution away from the two closest testing sites. The contractor also placed the testing equipment either directly against or in close proximity to buildings, which can interfere with results. Previously, the health department claimed that it did not have the authority to permit 'mobile' gas-burning turbines if they were in operation for less than 364 days, saying that under those circumstances, the EPA was the relevant regulator. The SELC said that the interpretation of the law was 'incorrect' and the letter justifying inaction was 'without any legal analysis.' Sign in to access your portfolio

New York may have America's top pizza, but LA is at its heels, Italian judges say
The best pizza in the United States comes from a wood-fired oven on New York's Lower East Side, an Italian pizza-ranking guide has announced. For the second year running, the Naples-based 50 Top Pizza judged Una Pizza Napoletana the winner in its annual assessment of American bakers. The ranking focuses strictly on Neapolitan-style pizza — the thin, round, fastidiously prepared variety from the city that considers itself the cradle of pizza — but to aficionados, it's the only type that matters. In a one-two punch, the Big Apple also claimed the top individual pizza slice, with the honors going to L'industrie Pizzeria, run by Massimo Laveglia and Nick Baglivo. Last year, Una Pizza Napoletana was also rated No. 1 in the whole world. The global rankings are due to be released later this year. Una Pizza Napoletana is owned by Anthony Mangieri. Born and raised in New Jersey, Mangieri opened his first pizzeria on the Jersey Shore in 1996. Food and Wine magazine has called Mangieri 'one of the country's most skilled practitioners of the Neapolitan style' of pizza, and New York magazine called him a 'one-man Opus Dei' for authentic pizza. The organization behind the ranking, 50 Top Pizza, cited the rich flavor of his pizzas and the his straightforward approach to making them, with only a few dishes on offer and a single location. Mangieri said that perfecting his technique has been his goal since he first started making pizzas at age 15. While his focus remains the same, he said the world of pizza has changed dramatically in the nearly 30 years since he established his first restaurant. 'When we opened, no one was making the style of pizza that we make,' he told CNN Travel. Now, he says, you can find good pizza all over the world, and American diners have come to appreciate fine Neapolitan pizza. He attributes his success to a strong work ethic that limits distractions. 'It is not a concept restaurant — it is not one of 20 things that I'm doing,' Mangieri said of the restaurant on Orchard Street in New York. 'It's a life's work.' Restaurants in Los Angeles and San Francisco snagged the next two spots on the list of top pizzerias in the US, which also included nine other New York pizzerias. Pizzeria Sei, the No. 2 pizzeria in the US, is run by William Joo, whom the organization deemed 'very talented.' And American pizza 'legend' Tony Gemignani came in third with his Tony's Pizza Napoletana in San Francisco. Other cities known for their pizza also made appearances on the list, including New Haven where the restaurant Zeneli was singled out. California fared particularly well, with honors also going to pizzerias in San Diego, San Luis Obispo and Berkeley. But the gospel of Neapolitan pizza has traveled widely, and the ranking also included restaurants in Louisville, Kentucky, and Charlotte, North Carolina. The ranking was announced at the West Edge in New York's Chelsea Market on Tuesday. Have a hankering for more pizza news? The organization will announce the best pizzerias in Italy on July 15 and the world's best pizzerias in September. The top 10 pizzerias in the US according to 50 Top Pizza: 1 Una Pizza Napoletana - (New York) 2 Pizzeria Sei – (Los Angeles) 3 Tony's Pizza Napoletana – (San Francisco) 4 Jay's – (Kenmore, New York) 5 Ribalta – (New York) 6 Robert's – (Chicago) 7 Don Antonio – (New York) 8 Ken's Artisan Pizza – (Portland, Oregon) 9 Truly Pizza – (Dana Point, California) 10 La Leggenda – (Miami)

OpenAI Casts Doubt on Robinhood's New Tokenized Equity Products
Robinhood Markets Inc. shares fell after OpenAI advised caution to customers taking advantage of the brokerage's offer for access to equity 'tokens' for the closely held company led by Sam Altman. The artificial-intelligence firm said the tokens offered by Robinhood aren't company equity, and that OpenAI neither collaborated on nor endorsed the offering, triggering questions about the tokenization of private-company shares more broadly.
