What the source record says
Projected investment of $2.26 billion and 150-300 permanent local jobs were part of the developer's denied application (Idaho State Journal), not a built or committed project. No MW capacity, secured tenant, or site acreage was stated in either source fetched. This pin is a Pocatello city-centroid placeholder (precision: approximate): neither source fetched gave a parcel-level address for the former Hoku polysilicon site, and OpenStreetMap has no feature for it. It is NOT a claim about where on the Hoku parcel the proposal sat, and it is not co-located with the FBI Grey Wolf record in this batch, whose pin was corrected to its own OSM building POI 4.0 km north.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
