The record
The interim committee that has taken up Project Jupiter twice: on October 29, 2025 in Artesia, as agenda item 5, "Data Centers: Water and Energy Use and Project Jupiter Update"; and again on September 1, 2026 with an outside analyst's projections. The October 2025 session is the earlier fact worth knowing — the Legislature was briefed on this project ten months before the permit schedule became a due-process fight.
