What we use it for: Commissioner names, districts, phone numbers and emails on the Legislators page.

What we use it for: Sunland Park, in southern Doña Ana County next to the Project Jupiter site, has been a designated ozone nonattainment area since Aug. 3, 2018 and remains one. The area already fails the smog standard before the microgrid is built.

What we use it for: Permit class, siting, monitoring and post-injection care rules for CO₂ storage wells. New Mexico has no permitted Class VI wells yet; Texas has.

What we use it for: The Legislature's own briefing on the state's geothermal resource and the 2023 Geothermal Center of Excellence / project fund; context for a geothermal condition in the leases.

What we use it for: SunZia: 916 turbines, 3,650 MW net summer capacity in New Mexico, with a 553-mile HVDC line rated 3,500 MW, commissioned in 2026. Physical New Mexico wind exists at the scale of this campus.

What we use it for: Fuel-cell exhaust has ~10× the CO₂ concentration and ~1/15 the mass flow of turbine exhaust, which is what makes capture cheaper.

What we use it for: Commercial carbon capture designed specifically for Bloom fuel-cell exhaust, for utilization or sequestration.

What we use it for: Footprint: ~30 MW per acre at ground level, ~100 MW per acre stacked.

What we use it for: 27.5 MGD brackish RO plant operating since 2007 on the Hueco Bolson; brine piped 22 miles to three deep injection wells. Proof that brackish desalination works in this exact desert.

What we use it for: Plant design basis: 15 MGD permeate + 12.5 MGD blend, 16 production wells, injection wells 3,720–4,030 ft deep; $357–$782 per acre-foot treatment cost range.

What we use it for: Vast brackish (1,000–10,000 mg/L) and saline groundwater in the Mesilla aquifer near Santa Teresa–San Jerónimo; CRRUA's fresh groundwater is limited.

What we use it for: Gothenburg greenhouse heated by data-center waste heat, run with the city energy company. Precedent for heat-to-greenhouse reuse.

What we use it for: Statewide projection of 5 to 7 °F of warming over the next 50 years, major-river flows down 16 to 28%, groundwater recharge down at least 25%. Used for the 40-, 50- and 80-year views.

What we use it for: Near-linear relationship between cumulative CO2 emissions and warming; many changes are irreversible for centuries to millennia. Why the long views count CO2 as a running total that never resets.

What we use it for: Long-term groundwater elevations in the Rio Grande alluvium declined from 2000 to 2020 as streamflow fell and withdrawals rose. Basis for the water table continuing to drop in the long views.

What we use it for: Bloom expects fuel-cell stacks to be swapped out about twice in a 10-year server life (about every 5 years). Used to count stack replacements over long horizons.

What we use it for: Techno Farm Keihanna, Kyoto: about 30,000 heads of lettuce a day, robotic seeding, handling and harvest, IoT/AI environment control, 99% operating rate, over 90% of water recycled. Cited as a feasibility example only, not the plan.

What we use it for: 20-layer, 8.8 m plant factory on a 100 m² footprint; robot arms seed, transplant, harvest and pack; lettuce in 35 days; about 50 tonnes a year, the output of roughly 4 hectares of field. Feasibility example only.

What we use it for: Current vertical-farm lettuce uses about 10–18 kWh per kg; best technical cases 3.1–7.4; a Dutch greenhouse reference is about 3.8 kWh/kg. Why vertical farms wait for clean power on this site.

What we use it for: Cost-competitiveness of vertical farms depends on electricity price and yield targets; the basis for calling it a phase-two option rather than the plan.

What we use it for: The 'more than Albuquerque and Las Cruces combined' comparison used on the carbon diagram.

What we use it for: Typical home gas furnaces are rated roughly 80,000–100,000 BTU/hr. We use 90,000 BTU/hr (≈26 kW), so 1 MW of heat ≈ 38 home furnaces running flat out. A rough equivalence, labeled as such.

What we use it for: Context for the home-heating equivalence: U.S. households used about 76.8 million BTU a year in 2020, with space heating and cooling about half of it.

What we use it for: An average American family uses more than 300 gallons of water per day at home. We use 300 gal/day per home for every 'homes' equivalence.

What we use it for: The health standard for ground-level ozone (smog) is 70 ppb averaged over 8 hours. Ozone forms when NOx and VOCs react in sunlight; exposure is linked to asthma attacks, reduced lung function and premature death.

What we use it for: The fine-particle health standard is 9 µg/m³ annual average. PM2.5 exposure is linked to heart attacks, asthma attacks and premature death.

What we use it for: Bloom fuel cells run on natural gas, biogas, hydrogen, or blends of hydrogen and natural gas. Bloom operates sites on biogas today. Basis for the renewable-gas blending route to lower stack CO₂.

What we use it for: CO₂ is injected below about 800 m (2,625 ft), where pressure and temperature keep it a dense supercritical fluid, into porous rock capped by impermeable shale or salt (the confining layer, or cap rock) that stops it rising.

What we use it for: Installed cost benchmarks: utility-scale $0.98–$1.12/Wdc; commercial (agrivoltaic 3 MW) $1.34–$1.51/Wdc; residential $2.74–$3.15/Wdc, 2023 dollars, before incentives. We use $1.50/W for roof and canopy arrays.

What we use it for: USGS has monitored the Mesilla Basin since 1987; groundwater storage has fallen in most five-year periods since 1985 as pumping replaced river water in dry years.

What we use it for: Fracking itself rarely causes felt earthquakes; the large increase in central-U.S. quakes came mainly from deep wastewater injection raising pressure on faults. Basis for the 'not fracking, but injection has a managed seismic risk' statement.

What we use it for: A working CO₂ storage project in porous sandstone under shale cap rock: about one million tonnes injected over three years; microseismic events recorded were far too small to be felt at the surface. Example of managed injection.

What we use it for: New Mexico already runs a geothermal power plant: Lightning Dock, Hidalgo County, repowered in 2018 to about 11 MW net (14 MW gross), selling to PNM. Proof that Rio Grande rift heat makes electricity today.

What we use it for: Doña Ana County sits astride the Rio Grande rift with high heat flow; the depth to the 150 °C isotherm ranges from under 1 km to about 5.5 km, so direct-use heat and power are both viable. Radium Springs already heats a commercial greenhouse from a deep geothermal well.

What we use it for: Enhanced geothermal at commercial scale: Cape Station, Utah, first 100 MW delivering in Oct. 2026 and 400 MW more in 2028. The technology a data-center operator can buy today.

What we use it for: A hyperscaler buying 396 MW of enhanced geothermal for 2028 delivery, with an option toward about 1 GW by 2030. Precedent for a geothermal share in the Project Jupiter microgrid.

What we use it for: The longest-running power-plant capture unit: 848,388 tonnes of CO₂ captured in 2024, its best year, at 85% availability against a 1-million-tonne design. Our 90–95% capture figure is an engineering target; this is what a real unit delivers year to year.

What we use it for: CO₂ mineralization in concrete is commercial: 690,000 tonnes stored across 10 million truckloads worldwide. Also shows the honest limit: that is a decade of global output, small against 10 million tonnes a year from one site.

What we use it for: Carbonate aggregate made from CO₂: a plant expansion to 5,000 tonnes of CO₂ a year converted into 11,000 tons of aggregate. Real, growing, and still thousands of tonnes, not millions.

What we use it for: Absorption chillers run on 65–100 °C waste heat; reported COP about 0.86 at 80 °C and about 0.6 at 70 °C. Basis for using server heat to make part of the site's own cooling in summer.

What we use it for: Multistage LiBr–water chillers producing chilled water from heat as low as 50 °C; a case study cut mechanical cooling load by about 80%. Shows the direction the hardware is going.

What we use it for: The trade-offs of concentrating desalination brine to a solid or near-solid: energy, land and cost per unit of brine avoided. Used to label the brine-concentrator step an estimate with a real energy cost.

What we use it for: Reclamation's own inland zero-discharge process train: primary RO, concentrate treatment, secondary RO, brine concentrator, evaporation. The federal reference for inland brine minimization.

What we use it for: Reference photos in the click-to-explain panels: server racks, hydroponic greenhouse, gas pipeline valve, Bloom Energy Servers, gas dehydration unit, Boundary Dam CO₂ compressor, aquifer diagrams, biogas plant, well drill rig, filter backwash, reverse-osmosis vessels, Alamogordo water tower, water-main installation, rooftop solar, rooftop greenhouse, packing house. Each panel names the author and licence; none show Project Jupiter itself and every caption says so.

What we use it for: Stays on both the air-permit hearing and the emergency well authorization.

What we use it for: Oct. 23, 2025 emergency drilling authorization; more than 103 million gallons pumped since April 2026; historic right up to 2,400 acre-feet/year.

What we use it for: Non-potable sod-farm water is permanent operational use, not temporary; Oracle declined to state volumes; a state engineer official informally estimated ~1 million gallons/day (~1,100 acre-feet/yr).

What we use it for: Agreements grew from 359 to 1,583 pages; 'potable' added to the water-use language; 1,200-acre figure.

What we use it for: Total water need near 1 million gallons a day; Santa Teresa Capital's 2,600 acre-feet right bought in 2017.

What we use it for: Switch from gas turbines to 2.45 GW of Bloom fuel cells; NOx −92%, CO −67%, VOC −38%, PM −83%, CO₂ −21% vs. January permit.

What we use it for: 17-mile Green Chile pipeline, up to 400 MMcf/day, for 2.5 GW of Bloom fuel cells.

What we use it for: Energy Transfer seeking a BLM route for part of the 17.8-mile line after two state denials.

What we use it for: Missed quarterly employment reports required by the GRT-rebate agreement.

What we use it for: About 3 million square feet of facility off Pete Domenici Highway (NM-136).

What we use it for: Rep. Micaela Lara Cadena, Sen. Carrie Hamblen, Reps. Eleanor Chávez and Angelica Rubio propose a statewide moratorium for the 2027 session.

What we use it for: Microgrid Oversight Act (SB 235) passed the Senate and died in the House in 2026; sponsors plan to reintroduce.

What we use it for: Doña Ana County received an F grade for ozone with 15.2 unhealthy-air days a year on average.

What we use it for: The critical view of Boundary Dam: cumulative capture well below the design target over ten years. Cited so the skeptic's case is on the page next to ours.

What we use it for: El Paso's board approved turning about 3 MGD of KBH brine into tap water while mining minerals from it. Basis for the brine-concentrator step that shrinks injection instead of relying on it.
