No, “mobile generators” are not constantly powered at one location.

Typically they are unused in storage and brought to location without power. It could be a warehouse with sensitive equipment (freezers etc), a hospital in need of extra power etc.

This is clearly a case of abuse and people should go to jail for wrecking the planet.

I work in the energy sector and I’ve done routine maintenance on backup generators, including work on the diesel engines.

xAI temporarily has these generators at the location. It's not meant to be constantly be there.

And how long is “temporary”?

They are normally used during power outages or during construction(days, not weeks).

That is knowledge internal to xAI.

So you’re only guessing it’s temporary then.
