Just 2 days to stop a massive gas pipeline for data centers Big Tech and notorious Dakota Access Pipeline developer Energy Transfer are pushing a huge new fossil fuel project. The 516-mile Desert Southwest Pipeline would run from Texas' Permian Basin through southern New Mexico and into suburban Phoenix. Why build another pipeline? Big tech and energy companies want to power a rapid buildout of massive AI data centers. If approved, the pipeline and data centers would devastate communities, Indigenous sacred sites, wildlife, and the environment. Working people will get higher electric bills. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) opened public comments on the pipeline’s environmental impacts—and the deadline is just two days away. Submit a comment now. The Southwest is experiencing a severe water crisis. Data centers require millions of gallons of water for cooling. What little water the region has will become even scarcer for people and wildlife. Fracking in the Permian Basin also contaminates groundwater. The pipeline would also cut through fragile ecosystems, including the Chihuahuan Desert and Otero Mesa, home to more than 1,000 native species and sacred cultural sites. The good news is that there’s still time to stop the Desert Southwest Pipeline and AI data centers. TAKE ACTION The climate impacts are dire: transporting and burning this fracked gas would release an estimated 56 million metric tons of CO₂ annually—equivalent to 15 coal plants—worsening the very droughts and extreme heat already driving water scarcity. And the data center buildout threatens to worsen our affordability crisis, propping up Big Tech while everyday working people foot higher water and electricity bills. Communities across Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona would be forced to live with the constant threat of leaks, explosions, and methane exposure, and other pollution that would make them sick. We have just two more days to make our voices heard. Comments are due August 5th. Take action now and tell (FERC) to stand up for the people and protect the environment. We will not stand by and sacrifice our homes, sacred land, and access to water so gas and Big Tech companies can rake in billions more dollars in profits at our expense. Thank you for taking action today! In solidarity, Jennifer Krill Executive Director
