Oracle's Project Jupiter AI data center sparks water debate in drought-stricken New Mexico desert

Oracle and OpenAI are building one of America's largest AI data centers in New Mexico's Doña Ana County, where tree mortality tripled in 2025 due to severe drought. The $165 billion Project Jupiter spans 1,400 acres, but Oracle claims its closed-loop cooling system will use just 11 million gallons for initial fill and minimal annual top-offs, calling the water usage negligible despite local opposition and water scarcity concerns.
