The proposed design has an individual exhaust stack on each fuel cell, of which there will be 2,275. It would be inefficient to place monitors and controls on each individual stack and there are NO proposed pollution controls on any of these stacks. ...↓How, then, will this project show evidence of their compliance with emissions limit requirements under Title V? Has there been or will there ever be upstream fuel testing of methane gas to anticipate the composition of these fuel cells' emissions? How exactly will NMED enforce emissions standards without direct, long-term, continuous monitoring? Or isolate their deleterious impact on air quality without an accurate assessment of localized pollution? A fuel cell can continue to generate electricity or maintain operating temperatures while experiencing catalyst degradation which causes a massive spike in the release of carbon monoxide or Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). This project would need to centralize the 2,275 individual stack emissions into an exponentially smaller number of exhaust systems so that Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS) installed on these central exhaust systems can provide real-time, accurate data about operational compliance. As it is, this design plan completely fails to provide monitoring conditions that are "practically enforceable" under 20.2.70.302.B NMAC. A proposal, such as this one, that relies on computer simulation modeling instead of actual, measured air pollution at scale is invalid, untrustworthy, and far from what residents of Doña Ana County and New Mexico deserve. What data was used to train these models? When and where was this data collected? What proportion of those involved in the development of this model have, at any time, received money from the corporations involved? How much? If NMED allows group testing for this project, 99% of the exhaust stacks at this facility will never be physically tested during the entire life of the Title V permit.

We know the pollution approximations provided are based on an extremely lazy testing methodology and while we were not told whether these 4 tests were even done on-site or during peak temperatures, we can safely assume the applicants cut corners here as well in an attempt to fast track this approval. As I write this, Project Jupiter is draining an undisclosed amount of water from our shared aquifer on a daily basis. Given the statistical invalidity of their pollution estimates, approving this air permit under any circumstance would be to allow this project to introduce unmitigated and undisclosed hazards into our air without consequence. Children attending Santa Teresa Elementary School will sit innocently, every day, LESS THAN ONE MILE from this pollution. Three other schools, an elder care center, and three public parks sit within around 4 miles of this project. Deny this air permit. Gambling with the fragile health of our children and elders would be a complete defilement of the authority vested in you.

Dear NMED staff, My name is Kristyn. I am writing because I am concerned about the risks and harms Project Jupiter poses to New Mexicans. I am submitting this comment to urge the New Mexico Environment Department to reject Yucca Growth Infrastructure...↓, LLC's air permit application for the YGI Microgrid in Doña Ana County. As an advocate for the environment, I am deeply concerned as Project Jupiter's power plant will release up to 10 million tons of climate-warming greenhouse gasses every year. This would make a mockery of NM's climate goals, and erase most of the climate progress we have made in the last two decades.This is more greenhouse gas pollution than New Mexico's three largest cities combined – Albuquerque, Las Cruces, and Santa Fe. Additionally, the proposed "micro" grid has a 2,462 MW Capacity. For comparison, the El Paso Electric grid is about 2,900 megawatts (which services NM's second largest city, Las Cruces) and the entire PNM grid is about 2,700 megawatts. Each of those grids include a substantial amount of renewable energy sources and each of those grids has lower total greenhouse gas pollution than just Project Jupiter's proposed power plant. There is also concern for those living nearby. Santa Teresa Elementary and High School are located within five miles of this project site. 96% of students at the high school are hispanic. There are also day care centers located within miles of this site. This is an environmental injustice to these children who are especially vulnerable to the health impacts of NOX, CO, and VOCs. Plus, the Chihuahuan Desert borderlands are not a barren dump site for Bloom Technologies to test their experimental technologies. Santa Teresa should not serve as ground zero for Bloom Technologies to scale their toxic technologies.
Thirdly, Tribal governments like Tortugas Pueblo, Ysleta del Sur, and Pueblo communities with landholdings in Doña Ana county near the site have not been properly notified of this air permit application request. The project's proposed fuel cell powered grid is concerning for many reasons: It would still produce a high level of greenhouse gas and toxic pollutants This technology generates toxic waste, and the process for handling this waste is still unclear. Fuel cell technology or a centralized waste system has never occurred at this scale. Surrounding communities' air will be negatively impacted by this development. I urge the NMED to outright reject YUCCA Yucca Growth Infrastructure, LLC's air permit application for the YGI Microgrid. If NMED does not reject the permit, I ask the department to please hold a bilingual hybrid public hearing near the Santa Teresa community, so that residents can learn about the risks associated with fuel cell technology. NMED should also give the public 60 days of additional time to review and comment on the Application to ensure everyone can meaningfully comment and participate. Sincerely, Kristyn

CLIMATE CONCERNS ● Project Jupiter's power plant will release up to 10 million tons of climate-warming greenhouse gasses every year. This would make a mockery of NM's climate goals, and erase most of the climate progress we have made in the last two ...↓decades. ● This is more greenhouse gas pollution than New Mexico's three largest cities combined – Albuquerque, Las Cruces, and Santa Fe. ● The proposed "micro" grid has a 2,462 MW Capacity. For comparison, the El Paso Electric grid is about 2,900 megawatts (which services NM's second largest city, Las Cruces) and the entire PNM grid is about 2,700 megawatts. Each of those grids include a substantial amount of renewable energy sources and each of those grids has lower total greenhouse gas pollution than just Project Jupiter's proposed power plant. ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ● Santa Teresa Elementary and High School are located within five miles of this project site. 96% of students at the high school are hispanic. There are also day care centers located within miles of this site. This is an environmental injustice to these children who are especially vulnerable to the health impacts of NOX, CO, and VOCs. ● The Chihuahuan Desert borderlands are not a barren dump site for Bloom Technologies to test their experimental technologies. Santa Teresa should not serve as ground zero for Bloom Technologies to scale their toxic technologies. ● Tribal governments like Tortugas Pueblo, Ysleta del Sur, and Pueblo communities with landholdings in Doña Ana county near the site have not been properly notified of this air permit application request. FUEL CELL TECHNOLOGY IS UNCERTAIN ● Fuel cell technology has not been deployed at this scale. This is 1000 times larger than the largest existing Bloom fuel cell installation. ● The Application is based on pollution testing from a very small unit. The testing unit is only 65kw, while the power plant is 37,000 times that size.

TOXIC WASTE ● Fuel cells generate hazardous waste. Fuel cells filter out sulfur and other contaminants in the methane stream. These contaminants accumulate as hazardous waste in "desulf canisters." The power plant will be generating enormous amounts of hazardous waste. Jupiter claims that any pollution from opening and changing the filter media in the desulf canisters is exempt from air permitting regulations (because there is less than 1000 lbs/yr). ● Bloom was fined for improper hazardous waste handling in Pennsylvania and Maryland. In 2020, Bloom was fined $210,000, and then $1,161,000. GOVERNANCE ● NMED's mission is "to protect and restore the environment and to foster a healthy and prosperous New Mexico for present and future generations." Granting these permit applications is a direct contradiction to that mission. ● What happened to the public hearing the state Air Quality Bureau recommended on the previous applications that the industry has since redacted? NMED should not overlook the overwhelming community concern expressed in the last public comment period, which still applies to this same project. I urge the NMED to outright reject YUCCA Yucca Growth Infrastructure, LLC's air permit application for the YGI Microgrid. ● If NMED does not reject the permit, I ask the department to please hold a bilingual hybrid public hearing near the Santa Teresa community, so that residents can learn about the risks associated with fuel cell technology. ● NMED should give the public 60 days of additional time to review and comment on the Application to ensure everyone can meaningfully comment and participate.

I am a resident of Las Cruces 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 an...↓d secure 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.
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.

We are already breathing some of the most compromised air in the history of humanity itself. It is unacceptable to invite a new source of hyperscale air pollution into existence. The carbon dioxide pollution alone will heat our atmosphere at a much faster pace and promote the formation of even more ground-level ozone. 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 build myself a future, knowing that i may never gey to see it through? Knowing air itself can cause permanent brain damage or breathing complications before I 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 waste material, and i won't stand for it.

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 outright given Bloom Energy's history of illegal dumping hazardous waste. Approving this permit would be government-sponsored environmental racism directed at residents of Doña Ana County.
If the permit is not denied outright, a public hearing needs to be held in Santa Teresa, in both English and Spanish, with an option to participate virtually.

Given the statistical invalidity of their pollution estimates, approving this air permit under any circumstance would be to allow this project to introduce unmitigated and undisclosed hazards into our air without consequence.

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 outright given Bloom Energy's history of illegal dumping hazardous waste. Approving this permit would be government-sponsored environmental racism directed at residents of Doña Ana County.
If the permit is not denied outright, a public hearing needs to be held in Santa Teresa, in both English and Spanish, with an option to participate virtually.

Dear NMED staff, I'm concerned about the new project "Project Jupiter". It will cause lots of health issues and air pollution if the data center will be built. I am certain that us, humans, do not need more data centres and especially huge ones like ...↓this one. We are damaging our earth with pollution, plastic waste, trash and so much more. We are wasting water so fast that we will run out of clean drinking water in a couple of years. This is a serious concern for us and for the future generations. Project Jupiter will build the largest AI data center ever and will not benefit us as much as we think. Our water, air, soil will be effected in bad ways. The energy used in the data centre will cause heat to fasten the climate rising. It will ruin the progress that we made with trying to stop climate warming. This is not a good idea to build such enormous building for AI. We once lived without AI, so why do we need such huge data centres built in lots of states and countries? Please think this through because you clearly haven't grasped what will happen if this huge data center is built. This will not be good. We are already facing huge problems in the world due to climate warming, so why are we trying to promote it. If this project is stopped, we will still have hope to help our earth and us. You, me, our families, friends, animals, the entire earth will face consequences of our careless actions and decisions. We need to stop this project, we already did enough damage to our earth that we can't even fix entirely. I hope my message will reach the right people and I hope my voice and choices will be heard and understand. I only hope for the best for all of us, not only me. I strongly believe that we can help our planet, help us and help others. I hope my and other people voices will help you to open your eyes, to help you see and understand the consequences of our actions. Open your eyes, see the problems that come with AI data centers being built.

I wouldn't be writing this message if I was Not Concerned for our own health and our planet's future and health. Thank you for reading my message, for hearing my thoughts and my voice. I hope we can protect what little we have left of our wonderful earth.
