The US data-center tracker

Every data-center project, local ballot measure and policy we are following, with the numbers that matter locally: power, land, water, money and the next public meeting. Each record lists its sources and the date they were checked.

Singularity Farmer is pro-compute. We track opposition as closely as approvals, because communities negotiate better when they can see the whole field. Figures a source did not state are marked “not reported”, never estimated. Where a citation points to a news outlet’s front page, the article link is still being added. New to data centers? Start with the basics.
