Summary
Interview with Jon Copeland, an organizer with Hold the Line, conducted by Melinda Tuhus. Two companies, Oracle and Open AI, have plans to build a huge artificial intelligence data center in southern New Mexico, near its border with Texas. To power the center they call Project Jupiter, the companies plan on using methane, which is 100 times more damaging to the climate than carbon dioxide emissions over the short term. Between The Lines’ Melinda Tuhus spoke with Jon Copeland, an organizer with Hold the Line, that's fighting to stop the pipeline, about the state of play of the project and what comes next.
