Oracle's Data Center Project Faces Opposition and Regulatory Hurdles

Environmental activists who have successfully challenged Oracle’s data center project in New Mexico are now eyeing similar projects across the country, seeing Oracle’s as a template for their efforts.

The project, which is being developed in southern New Mexico, has faced opposition and regulatory hurdles, including legal challenges from environmental groups.

Oracle is also adjusting the way it is proceeding with the project in response to environmental concerns, but the activists say they will continue to fight the project until Oracle withdraws from it.
