Project Jupiter Developers to Change Company Name After Criticism from Acoma Pueblo
Developers of the Project Jupiter data center in New Mexico have announced a name change for their company, Acoma LLC, following criticism from Acoma Pueblo leadership. The pueblo's governor, Charles Riley, condemned the use of the name as 'corporate appropriation' and deceptive, arguing it violated the pueblo's sovereignty and was an attempt to appear locally rooted. In response, the company will adopt the name of its parent company, Yucca Growth Infrastructure. The controversy is part of broader opposition to the data center, which is intended for artificial intelligence training and has raised concerns about environmental impact and resource usage.
