📰 News we're reading

• Researchers find a new way to look inside hurricanes (woodtv.com) — Heavy rains recently flooded roads in southern New Mexico, closing state highways in both directions near Sunland Park and prompting county officials to warn drivers away from standing or running water. At the same time, researchers in Texas say a new hurricane-analysis method could eventually improve storm forecasting, even though it cannot yet predict the kind of flash flooding now affecting the Borderland.
   

• Oracle Invokes Force Majeure as New Mexico Project Jupiter Power Work Faces Hurdles (enr.com) — Power planning for the massive Project Jupiter data center could affect air and energy issues near Sunland Park, as regulators review a huge fuel-cell microgrid mapped against the Sunland Park ozone nonattainment area. Oracle has issued a force majeure notice to protect its contracts while New Mexico and federal agencies weigh key permits for the microgrid and its natural-gas pipeline.
   

• New Mexico Supreme Court stays on key aspects of Project Jupiter lifted (dailylobo.com) — Sunland Park residents should know the New Mexico Supreme Court has lifted its pause on Project Jupiter's permits, allowing hearings to resume on air quality and pumping water from a local well. Environmental groups and the state attorney general raised concerns about emissions, water use, and due process, but justices denied their emergency petitions, so the permitting fight now shifts back to administrative hearings.
