Conflicts and open questions
- Existence, location (Desert Haven, Hudspeth County), $15 billion figure and timing confirmed by KFOX; 24,000 acres and the Kaufman & Company role by the KeyCrew article. The 350 MW total, 80 MW first phase, Hueco Ranch name, Oct. 7 groundbreaking date, US 62/180 location and Rio Grande Electric Cooperative service area come only from the Baxtel news article.
- KTSM's report could not be opened (site error on two tries).
- Timing conflict: the July 2026 developer announcement said construction was underway, while the county judge said it could start in 2027.
- Reported jobs: about 800 during construction and 200 to 300 permanent (KFOX).
- No state permit filings had surfaced as of the reports.
