Reports
Long-form analysis built over the corpus — each report stands on cited records, with inference labeled and nothing dressed as a verdict. The story teaches you to read the record; these go deeper on one thread at a time.
The capstone
Published
End use & workloads — what the facility is for interactive The customer is known (Google); the use is not. What the Select-Committee record establishes about hyperscale vs colocation vs federal enclaves — and the open question of who can use the Lima campus. The defense nexus — what the corridor shows, and what it can't interactive A defense plant nearby, a developer cleared to SECRET, an industry that hosts the CIA — three true facts that don't, combined, make a finding. The sharpest open question, held open. Toxics and the corridor — the river the campus joins interactive The campus discharges into a river that is already 93% treated effluent at low flow, in a corridor carrying the county's heaviest industrial toxic load. What RSEI screening shows, what it can't measure, and the assimilative question the record leaves open. The load and the grid — a city's worth of demand, and who carries it interactive A single campus equal to ~5–6% of its utility's entire retail load, for ~50 jobs — load, not jobs. The headline “313 MW” is backup generation (and redacted in the final permit); “behind-the-meter” is a claim, not a fact. What the record carries, and who pays to carry the load. The economic ledger — what the deal costs, modeled where the record is silent interactive A 15-year public ledger of the deal: ~$45M–$90M in forgone tax for ~50 jobs (≈0.1% of a shrinking county). Four figures the record withholds — the building share, the job count, the school terms, the equipment spend — are modeled as a band across scenarios rather than blanked or guessed. Research dossier A synthesis of everything deconstructed from the record — the actors, the corridor, the case. Hydrology — Tier-0 findings Tier-0 municipal water-flow screening — the prose companion to the water-balance dashboard. Economics — demand & public benefits The demand-side companion to Hydrology: regional cloud-consumer demand and the benefits extended to it. Mandamus analysis Legal analysis of the public-records mandamus action. Proponent analysis A neutral, precise read of the proponent submissions to the Select Committee. The bigger picture Project BOSC placed against the national data-center build-out.
