What it covers
- Six questions to ask about a data center proposal, and where to find the records that answer them.
- A printable sheet of the six questions for a public meeting.
- Reviews of ten projects against their public records.
- A map of 2,219 listed data center sites.
How the ten reviews are made
Each review covers one named project and draws only on public records: company pages, agency pages, permits, utility filings and meeting minutes. None includes a site visit or a measurement.
Every review answers the same nine narrow questions. A Yes or a No rests on a record that says so directly. A missing record, a record that does not open, or one too vague to answer the question gives Not known.
Each answer carries the kind of record behind it: a company statement, an adopted requirement, a measured result, or an official record. An official record is a kind of source, and it can hold a company’s forecast.
Each review states the date its records run to.
What the map draws
The map draws 2,219 data center records from Compute Atlas, a public list kept by Edward Kubiak, copied on November 10, 2026. Each dot is one record, a site or a campus, at an approximate place.
No checked national count of data centers exists. The list includes 1,359 records that are only reported and 27 that are rumored. Some records overlap, so the number is not a count of buildings. A stage such as “proposed” can be out of date.
The ten reviews are separate from the list, and a review and a list record can describe the same campus.
Data files
Each file keeps its sources and dates.
