Three data centers could upend climate goals in El Paso and New Mexico

ProPublica reports that New Mexico and El Paso drafted greenhouse-gas reduction plans without accounting for three data centers: Oracle’s Project Jupiter in New Mexico, Meta’s El Paso facility and a planned project at Fort Bliss. Power plants proposed for the Oracle and Meta sites could emit up to 10 million tons of greenhouse gases annually; emissions from the Fort Bliss project remain unclear. Regulators have largely assessed the projects separately across state lines.
