Socorro Residents Oppose Green Data Center Project in La Jencia Basin
A letter to the editor expresses strong opposition to Green Data's proposed 2-gigawatt data center and 10-gigawatt solar project in New Mexico's La Jencia basin. Concerns include potential destruction of an ancient Folsom site, massive water consumption, environmental damage, lack of transparency, and national security implications due to its proximity to military installations. The author urges Socorro's council and NMT leadership to halt support until comprehensive reviews are completed.
