What giving up each rule buys

 

What this does not know
  • A line nearby is not capacity. No public data gives available megawatts.
  • Fiber, zoning, parcels, sewer and air permits are not rules because the data is not public or not national. The interstate is a rough stand-in for long-haul fiber.
  • Transmission is HIFLD, frozen after 2022 to 2023. Gas pipelines are EIA's coarse national layer.
  • Price is a state average and disaster loss a county figure, so a whole county or state moves at once. Big users negotiate their own tariffs.
  • Moratoria are found, not a census: the Moratorium Nation inventory to Sept. 23, 2026 and the Day 09 records to Nov. 3. A county action blocks the county, a town's action blocks squares within 3 mi, and the New York and Texas state actions block the state.
  • A county with no digital FEMA map reads as dry. Seven of the 74 passing squares are in Kidder County, ND, which shows no flood polygons here, so dry is unconfirmed there. No basin or slope data counts as a fail.
  • Whole cells only. A smaller site can fit where a whole 988 acre cell fails, and heat is a July high, not the wet-bulb figure a cooling engineer would use.
How this was made
  • Loads with the data.
  • An agent wrote the build and this page. It fixed the limits first, ran the count, and did not tune them toward a headline. A zero was the working guess. The data said 74.
  • Checking its own answer changed two inputs. FEMA occupancy is blank in about 40 states, so 10 homes became 12 structures of any kind, the median for 10 homes where occupancy exists. North Dakota looked clear of moratoria only because our records missed them, so the inventory was added: 80 squares became 74.
  • It read flood, wetland, protected land, slope, structures, lines and pipelines from our national PostGIS store, and pulled the rest from public downloads and FEMA's published ArcGIS service.
  • The page reruns the same rules in your browser. A test checks it against the build, bit for bit.
  • No MCP connector ran in this build.
