Project Jupiter, part of the $500 billion Stargate Project, is under development in Santa Teresa and Sunland Park, New Mexico, and secured financing and county bond approvals in September–October 2025. Developers plan two natural-gas microgrids and promise about 750 jobs, while air-permit filings and advocates warn of up to 14 million tons CO2 annually, ozone and PM2.5 risks, and roughly 20,000 gallons daily water use.
