Even though the fuel cells will produce less air pollution the amount of CO2 will still be substantial for an area that is burden with poor air quality. It is my understanding for a conversation I had with a rep from Bloom there are no plans to addre...↓

I am a resident of Abq and I am asking that you deny Yucca Growth Infrastructure's air quality permit. I live here with many generations of my family and this is our home. I want to continue raising my children here knowing they have a safe and secur...↓e future. That future is under threat with this proposed air quality permit. A change to fuel cells has minimal impacts on the suffering we will endure as a result of the gas plant's air pollution. To add 10 million tons of carbon dioxide pollution and a vague estimate of toxic emissions to our active and long-time nonattainment zone would be nothing short of blatant environmental racism. Our metro area is currently 16th worst in the nation for ozone pollution and we have received a failing grade on this air quality standard every single year since 2000. We are already breathing some of the most compromised air in the country. It is unacceptable to invite a new source of hyperscale air pollution into our communities. The carbon dioxide pollution alone will heat our atmosphere at a much faster pace and promote the formation of even more ground-level ozone. Last summer, my 7 year old suffered a grand mal seizure while on the playground at school because the extreme heat led to electrolyte imbalances. My brother works outside everyday without shade or rest breaks and has nowhere to keep his insulin cool. I can barely pay my electricity bills in the summer as it is. We cannot afford more intense heat. The other toxic air pollutants are extremely dangerous–many of them at very low levels. How am I supposed to send my kids to school knowing what they are breathing in? Knowing it can cause permanent brain damage or breathing complications before they have had a chance to grow up. Fuel cells also create hazardous waste and the fuel cell provider for this project has a history of illegally dumping this waste and hiding it for several years. This company will likely repeat its bad habits, illegally dumping dangerous and undisclosed chemicals into our public landfills, and we will just have to wait until somebody notices? Our county has and continues to face an illegal dumping epidemic so how can I be sure that these systemic oversight failures we have locally won't continue and expand to include this dangerous and experimental fuel cell operation. A fine for illegal dumping does not undo damage or its spread once our aquifer and soils are contaminated. It also will not re-capture the volatile chemicals that are released into the air when hazardous waste is improperly stored and disposed of.
My family's health and safety should be worth more than the profits of out-of-state corporations. The only defensible options moving forward are to deny this air permit or you must hold a public hearing in-person in Santa Teresa with a component for virtual participation. Materials and the hearing itself must be translated into Spanish and meet any other accessibility needs requested by community members.

I urge the Air Quality Bureau to do what's right and deny the permit for Yucca Growth Infrastructure LLC / Project Jupiter. Approving the permit would directly contradict the Air Quality Bureau's mission to protect the public health of New Mexicans a...↓nd our land's natural beauty. I spend much of my time at work outside in Dona Ana County, including in Santa Teresa. Any infrastructure related to Project Jupiter (or any other data center for that matter) would result in hazardous air quality that would harm me and thousands of other New Mexicans. It is unacceptable for NMED to allow Yucca Growth Infrastructure LLC to move forward with their plan when it very obviously has the potential to produce thousands of tons of greenhouse gas emissions, cancer-causing chemicals like benzene, heavy metals (lead, arsenic, chromium), and other toxic compounds. NMED should also consider what happened with past projects of these massive out of state corporations, namely the illegal dumping of hazardous waste and falsification of records. Obviously these corporations DO NOT CARE about the people that live here in Dona Ana County, and if the Air Quality Bureau approves their permit, it will be a clear message to the public that NMED does not care either. Finally, consider the immense amount of energy that will be required to power the fuel cell plant. It would be absurd to bake the methane gas required for the fuel cells at temperatures above 1000°F in the middle of a HOT desert environment which is already struggling with fresh water availability and climate change. The fuel cell plant is likely to cause thermal pollution of the surrounding area (along with all the other forms of pollution - noise, air, water, etc) making it even more difficult for the community of Santa Teresa to survive.
At the very least I demand an extensive investigation into how the corporation plans to avoid as much pollution as possible. The people of Dona Ana County should be given more time to review and provide input as well. Yucca Growth Infrastructure LLC is part of a shady operation that may be offering millions to NMED. It is essential that the public servants of the state involve the public that they serve as much as possible and consider the grave danger they will be putting New Mexicans in if they do not deny this permit. The future and land belong to all of us, not just the executives of some rich and powerful corporation willing to pay anything to squeeze the life out of the desert for their own gain. Stand up for us!

The public should be given an additional 60 days to review and comment on the air quality permit so community members can participate equitably.

The air quality permit application should be denied given Bloom Energy's history of illegal dumping hazardous waste.

If the permit is not denied, a public hearing needs to be held in Santa Teresa, in both English and Spanish, with an option to participate virtually.

Approving this permit would be government-sponsored environmental racism as residents of Doña Ana County are already disproportionately impacted by environmental pollution.
