Proposed data center threatens our air quality

Open-ended public pre-comment period now open!

This proposed project, called Site Level 1, just 59 miles from Silver City and 30 from Lordsburg would produce 3 times as much air pollution as current local mining operations. 

Do we want this upwind of us: 

Could consume approximately 2.3 million cubic feet of natural gas every hour, enough gas to power 900 homes for an entire year.

1,292,118 tons per year CO2 - equivalent to 280,000 cars

1,529 tons per year other pollutants, including particulates, sulfur dioxide, volatile organic compounds, and ammonia.

They call this "clean burning" natural gas!?!

Once again, do we want to breathe this?
