Judge rejects Trump’s wild claim EPA can dismiss data center pollution lawsuits

A US judge has rejected a claim made by the Trump administration that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has the power to dismiss lawsuits related to pollution from data centers, specifically a lawsuit filed against SpaceX. The lawsuit, which was filed by a group of residents in Texas, alleges that SpaceX's data center in the state is causing environmental pollution. The Trump administration's claim was rejected by a US district judge, who ruled that the EPA does not have the authority to unilaterally dismiss the lawsuit. The lawsuit is ongoing, and the judge's decision is seen as a victory for the plaintiffs.
