TLDR
A post citing the Guardian says New Jersey fined DataOne, a Microsoft-linked AI datacenter, $1.07 million over 62 unpermitted natural-gas generators. According to the summary, a July 29 inspection found the generators, and a later Floodlight thermal-drone investigation showed at least 45 operating simultaneously. New Jersey's environmental regulator called it the state's largest-ever enforcement action against a datacenter. The account says DataOne disputes the state's temporary-generator determination but will seek permits, with permanent onsite power planned around Bloom Energy fuel cells.
