Join us to learn about Project Jupiter — a 1,000 megaWatt data center fast-tracked in Santa Teresa by Doña Ana County officials. A poorly understood and nontransparent amendment passed by the legislature this year made Project Jupiter possible. Local and state governments are promoting this development while ignoring its water supply, air pollution, and carbon footprint impacts. Hear State Representatives speak out about the betrayal of their communities and the hard truth of finding water in the Lower Rio Grande.
New Mexico's top water officials presented honestly at the March 19 Water Advocates workshop — acknowledging a compact debt of -132,000 acre-feet, a violation threshold three years away, and a metering order that is overdue. We are grateful for their candor. We are not yet reassured by their plan.
