Energy expert tells NM lawmakers Project Jupiter could roll back air quality progress by 20 years

Energy experts warn New Mexico lawmakers that Project Jupiter, a plan to build power plants for large data centers, could reverse two decades of air quality improvements. Environmental advocates argue that these new power plants could increase emissions, threatening the state's progress in reducing air pollution. This development is particularly concerning as it could undermine efforts to combat climate change and protect public health, highlighting a potential conflict between technological advancement and environmental sustainability.
