The “Colossus” data center campus, comprising two separate data centers, has come under fire from locals and activist groups. At the time, the lawsuit estimated that the gas turbines could emit more than 2,000 tons of smog-forming nitric oxides every year. In May, Politico reported that the data center had become one of the largest emitters of smog-producing nitrogen oxides in the county, where smog levels were already considered unhealthy before the facility went online. Some parents in nearby communities have complained that their children have developed respiratory problems since the facility went online.
