Google’s eyeing a massive new data center in Lea County, New Mexico — part of Project Jupiter — promising clean energy and water-saving tech, but sparking debate. While local officials are cautiously optimistic, State Rep. Angelica Rubio demands a statewide pause, insisting communities must have a say before approving such projects. Meanwhile, Senator Jim Townsend sees economic upside, praising the industry’s growing environmental responsibility. Approval still hinges on the state board and pending land deals — making this a high-stakes, hotly contested development.
