But then came electricity demands from artificial intelligence. </p><p>Fisk, owned by Houston-based NRG Energy, is among a growing number of electric plants being pressed back into duty across the U.S. </p><p>They are classified as "peakers," because they are meant to run only in short bursts during periods of peak electrical demand.</p><p>They're intended to stave off blackouts by supplying power on a moment’s notice. </p><p>But there’s a trade-off: these often decades-old, fossil-fueled facilities emit more pollution when they are running and cost more to produce electricity than continuous power plants.</p><p>And the country's roughly 1,000 peaker plants are disproportionately located in low-income communities of color, according to academic and federal government research.</p><p>“People can say, 'Well, the peakers, they only operate occasionally, they're not nearly as big a pollution source as the big, coal-fired power plant was when it was operating..."</p><p>Jerry Mead Lucero is a longtime advocate for closing the Fisk plant.</p><p>“And I'm very cognizant of the fact that communities like Pilsen, immigrant communities, working class communities, communities of color, are the ones that are, you know, unduly impacted all over the country.
