Sorry, Brit here, I'm confused. Why is the plaintiff here the NAACP?

We are confused here too. Really could be any large enough group I suppose as long as it contains a lot of members living near the turbines.

I suspect because these data centers are usually placed in areas where land and labor are very cheap, which in some/many states are predominantly black(er) areas.

Really though, the USA has been chipping away at the ability for groups like these to show “standing” so its mildly impressive that this case got this far.

Because tribalism. NAACP is lefty, and Musk is righty. So they fight.
