✦AI Summary
Google has invested in a massive solar and battery storage project in Arkansas to power its data centers with clean energy. This initiative is contrasted with xAI's use of unpermitted natural gas turbines in Mississippi, which has drawn criticism for environmental and social impacts.
Google said it has made its largest solar power and battery storage purchase to date. The first two phases of the project, located in Arkansas, will generate enough electricity to power about 6% of the state’s peak demand , the company said earlier this week.
