Opposition to Cost of Transmission Line for Facebook

IT WAS A UNANIMOUS DECISION BY NEW MEXICO’S PUBLIC REGULATION COMMISSION … BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE DON’T LIKE IT. AND THAT INCLUDES GOVERNOR LUJAN GRISHAM. THE DECISION HAS FACEBOOK … WHICH NOW HAS A HUGE DATA CENTER IN LOS LUNAS … PAYING 39 MILLION DOLLARS FOR A TRANSMISSION LINE TO HELP POWER THE DATA CENTER.

FACEBOOK, STATE OFFICIALS AND OTHERS SAY THE HIGH DOLLAR FIGURE WAS NOT PART OF THE AGREEMENT THE STATE MADE WITH FACEBOOK TO PLACE ITS DATA CENTER IN LOS LUNAS. AND GOVERNOR LUJAN GRISHAM … WHO’S ALREADY CONTACTED FACEBOOK … SAYS SHE BELIEVES THERE’S A SOLUTION TO THIS SOMEWHERE.
