Evidence, not talking points

The physical facts behind the AI boom.

Power, water, cooling, jobs, taxes and community outcomes—separated into what was announced, what was promised and what the record actually supports.

National structure, honest coverage

Independently source-linked records span 48 states. Statewide audits are still pending.

48 states have at least one published row; unresolved rows are not counted as verified anchors.

Every state has a research page. Published rows are either independently source-linked, attributed or unresolved, and those layers are never silently combined. Indiana and Ohio have the deepest indexes and the only sourced state maps.

The evidence chain

A claim is only the beginning.

Headlines routinely mix projections, enforceable commitments and measured outcomes. We preserve those distinctions—and mark gaps instead of turning missing data into zero.

01

Claimed

Who said it, when and about which project?

02

Committed

Is it written into an agreement or permit?

03

Due

Has the relevant phase or deadline arrived?

04

Observed

What do operating, fiscal or regulatory records show?

05

Reconciled

Supported, partial, contradicted—or not verifiable.

Evidence desk

Five dossiers. Three very different outcome states.

Meta’s outcome deadlines are not yet established. AWS has positive company-reported delivery awaiting independent reconciliation. Hammond’s proposed expansion expired while its existing facility remains open.
