WHY IS LIFE SO HARD?Data-center field guide
How we handle evidence

Editorial standards

Data-center projects are fast-moving and their local effects are specific. This site is built to make the source trail visible.

We separate status carefully

Proposed, approved, under construction, operating, paused, and cancelled are different states. A project page must name its source and review date.

We favor original records

  • Local planning agenda, staff report, zoning case, or approved site plan
  • State utility commission docket or utility planning filing
  • Air, water, and building permits from the responsible agency
  • Developer submission or public meeting materials

We label uncertainty

If a source does not establish a fact, the page says so. We do not turn a missing disclosure into a conclusion.

We correct and update

Facility dossiers will carry a visible review date and a source list. Material changes trigger an update rather than a silent rewrite.
