What the evidence says

Key findings

01
How it operates

Disclosure & reporting · Siting & permitting

Forces a data center’s energy, water, and impact data into public view, so regulators, ratepayers, and communities can see figures operators would otherwise keep private. Sets where and how a data center can be built, and which authority and reviews can accelerate or block a project.
