Un directivo de Space Exploration Technologies Corp. comunic\u00f3 este mes a los concejales de Brownsville que la empresa calcula que necesitar\u00e1 unos 2 millones de galones de agua potable al d\u00eda para sus operaciones industriales y para los residentes de Starbase.\u00a0<\/p>

Eso supone 19,7 veces lo que SpaceX compr\u00f3 a la Junta de Servicios P\u00fablicos de Brownsville en el ejercicio fiscal 2025. E incluso con las ampliaciones previstas<\/a> por la empresa de servicios p\u00fablicos, solo SpaceX necesitar\u00eda alrededor del 4,7 % del suministro de agua del proveedor municipal, seg\u00fan un an\u00e1lisis del Rio Grande Valley Business Journal.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>

SpaceX es el cliente industrial no identificado que aparece en el informe financiero anual de la Junta de Servicios P\u00fablicos de Brownsville, un documento clave que el ayuntamiento utiliza para demostrar que cuenta con un modelo de negocio que le permite amortizar cualquier emisi\u00f3n de bonos, entre otros fines.\u00a0<\/p>

Durante la \u00faltima d\u00e9cada, SpaceX ha invertido miles de millones de d\u00f3lares en la nueva ciudad de Starbase, la plataforma de lanzamiento de cohetes, un edificio de oficinas corporativas y las instalaciones de fabricaci\u00f3n.\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
