Sierra Club Rio Grande Chapter Responds to Haaland Data Center Announcement
“New Mexico’s progress on curbing climate pollution stands to be erased by massive data centers that emit more greenhouse gases than our largest cities. These facilities also deplete our water resources, harm our quality of life and could massively increase electric bill affordability. We support a moratorium on data centers until serious and enforceable guardrails are in place. Today we were encouraged to see gubernatorial candidate Deb Haaland announce that she’d enact a moratorium on her first day, if elected, and support guardrails in the legislature. Our communities shouldn’t have to fight alone to protect themselves. Now that the Supreme Court has allowed Project Jupiter’s Air Pollution Permit process to go forward, this kind of policy is more important than ever.”
