Pipeline Rejected for AI Data Center | Santa Fe News
Description
New Mexico’s Land Commissioner Stephanie Garcia Richard has once again blocked Energy Transfer’s pipeline proposal for Project Jupiter — a massive AI training data center for Oracle and OpenAI — calling it a poor investment for state trust lands. The “Green Chili lateral” would span 17 miles across Doña Ana County, but Garcia Richard argues it offers minimal revenue while risking water, community, and environmental harm — especially as climate change threatens state lands. Though Oracle shifted to fuel cell tech, emissions remain high, prompting critics to push for solar. Energy Transfer may appeal, while another data center project also faces scrutiny.
