AG backs Project Jupiter permit challenges

The New Mexico Department of Justice, led by Attorney General Raúl Torrez, has filed responses in court supporting challenges to water and air permits for Project Jupiter, a data center project in Santa Teresa. Torrez argues that state agencies, the Office of the State Engineer and the New Mexico Environment Department, cut corners and neglected public welfare in granting permits for the Oracle and OpenAI facility. Environmental groups allege that due process was violated, particularly regarding an emergency well authorization and an air quality permit for the 2.45-gigawatt, methane-powered fuel cell system.
