About this listen
Meta Platforms, the technology giant that owns Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp, is building a $1.5 billion data center project in El Paso. Public anxiety about data centers and their water and electricity usage has escalated in arid communities throughout the southwestern U.S. like El Paso. El Paso Matters journalists Diego Mendoza-Moyers and Pablo talk about the resources the data center will use, the city's incentive deal with Meta and how the project will impact El Pasoans' utility bills. You can read Diego's reporting at elpasomatters.org.
