Austin, Texas-Jul 8, 2026
"As we announced last month, Project Jupiter representatives have and will continue to conduct community outreach to answer questions, provide information, and encourage participation in the public permitting process. Outreach teams are supervised, clearly identified as Project Jupiter representatives, and trained to ensure that any public comment must be submitted only by residents who voluntarily choose to participate.
We take seriously any questions about the integrity of the public comment process. We are aware of allegations that a small number of submissions may have been made improperly via ProjectJupiterTogether.com.
ProjectJupiterTogether.com provided a public portal through which anyone could submit comments to the New Mexico Environment Department. This portal transmitted every comment received to NMED, including hundreds of comments opposing the project. If anyone deliberately submitted comments using another person's name or false information, that would represent an abuse of the public comment process, which Project Jupiter does not support or condone.
Based on our review to date, the submissions we have completed our review of are legitimate comments from residents who happen to share the same name as someone else. There are other submissions within this small number that require further investigation. We review every question about authenticity and will continue to actively investigate each instance that is raised. Any isolated instances of improper conduct should be addressed, but they should not overshadow or undermine the thousands of residents who have participated honestly and in accordance with the process.
New Mexico's public permitting process exists so that everyone has an opportunity to make their voice heard. The process is working, and we remain committed to protecting the integrity of the public process for everyone and to ensuring that community participation is voluntary, informed, and transparent."
-Michael Egbert, vice president, Oracle.
