Judge Debra Brown denied xAI's motion to dismiss the lawsuit, rejecting the company's claims that the turbines are exempt mobile sources and that citizen plaintiffs lack constitutional standing. The court affirmed that plaintiffs have statutory standing under the Clean Air Act and that citizen suits do not violate Article II of the Constitution.

“Because the plaintiffs have statutory standing under the Clean Air Act, because the combustion turbines are not 'mobile sources' under Mississippi's [State Implementation Plan], and because the citizen suit provision does not violate Article II of the Constitution or the private nondelegation doctrine, the plaintiffs' claims will proceed.”
