‘Tech Campus’ Revealed as Mega Data Center Devouring Water and Power—Residents Caught Off Guard

In Doña Ana County, New Mexico, a project initially described as a 'technology campus' turned out to be Project Jupiter, a massive AI data center that will use huge amounts of water and electricity.

Construction was suspended by the state Supreme Court after lawsuits over excessive water extraction and the alleged forgery of resident support letters.
