Location verification: the supplied graphic says Reeves County, but the sources below place Beacon’s Dove Creek Technology Campus in Tom Green County near San Angelo. The original image is preserved while this conflict is reviewed.

Current status update: the supplied image preserves the original Crusoe Project Jade proposal. Laramie County reported in July 2026 that Crusoe withdrew and that the revised application is now Project Tembo, involving Google operating as Jupiter Star Holdings, LLC.

Legislative record update: the supplied graphic cites “LB 989 (2024)” as Nebraska’s Data Center Transparency Act. Official legislative records do not support that citation. Current reporting requirements are contained in Nebraska law at §70-1506 following 2026 legislation, including provisions developed through LB 1111 and enacted through LB 1010.

Current-record note: the preserved artwork reports a 5.75-million-gallon daily estimate and describes the site as Potter County. The City of Amarillo’s published agreement concerns up to 2.5 million gallons per day, while recent project reporting places the main campus in Carson County. The interactive map and linked records provide the current geographic and water-supply context.

Current-status note: the supplied artwork presents a future data-center buildout. Triple Oak’s official Home Range site currently describes the energy project as proposed and says it is discussing the area with a large energy customer considering a future data center; the power is not yet contracted and no data-center tenant is identified. Local reporting says Triple Oak estimated 600 million gallons per year—about 1.64 million gallons per day—if the data center proceeds.

Identity and evidence note: no public record reviewed identifies a Texas Panhandle project matching all of the supplied artwork’s claims—1.0–1.2 gigawatts, $10–15 billion, evaporative cooling, deep aquifer wells, and an unnamed active developer. The closest clearly verified regional construction project is Aligned Data Centers’ Project Caprock near Abernathy, but its published record differs: 540 megawatts, 313 acres, approximately $5 billion, and a closed-loop system with air-cooled heat rejection. The image is preserved as submitted and is not being relabeled as Caprock without stronger evidence.

Location and project-record correction: the supplied artwork identifies Red Oak, Texas. Vantage’s official Frontier records place the 1.4-gigawatt campus in Shackelford County near Abilene, on approximately 1,200 acres. Vantage reports an investment exceeding $25 billion—not $10–15 billion—and a closed-loop chilled-water design with near-zero operational water utilization. Red Oak contains other data-center projects, but it is not the documented location of Vantage Frontier.

Facility-record correction: the supplied artwork labels the campus “Omaha,” gives a 1.4-million-square-foot footprint, equates water demand to 30,000–40,000 homes per day, and describes closed-loop cooling towers. Current records place the campus near Papillion and Springfield, describe roughly 4 million square feet, and report annual withdrawals of 26.7–37.5 million gallons from 2020–2024—about 73,000–103,000 gallons per day. Current reporting describes a combination of evaporative and closed-loop cooling. The campus is east of the Ogallala Aquifer, but its actual local supply and watershed impacts remain appropriate subjects for verification.

Facility-record correction: the supplied artwork says the campus was announced in 2022, began construction in 2023, and represents a $1–2 billion investment. Meta’s current record says it broke ground in 2016, has invested more than $2.5 billion, and supports more than 400 operational jobs. A further two-building, approximately $800 million expansion was approved in late 2024 and reported in January 2025. The image’s 20,000–30,000-homes-per-day water equivalency and specific Rio Grande/recycled-water supply description are not supported by the official sources reviewed; Meta’s fact sheet describes water-efficient cooling and repeated reuse before wastewater discharge but does not publish that daily demand figure.

Location, schedule, and water-evidence correction: the supplied artwork places the campus in Dallas County and describes a 2024 announcement, 2026 construction start, $10–15 billion investment, municipal greywater cooling, and water use equal to 25,000–35,000 homes per day. Current developer records place it just outside Grand Prairie in northern Ellis County, say the venture was announced in 2025, and describe a permitted project still in design and engineering. The current AREP property page lists roughly 810 acres, 29 buildings, two phases, and first energization in Q4 2026. The reviewed public sources do not substantiate the artwork’s investment, cooling-water source, or household-equivalency figures, so those remain unverified.

Status, scale, and water correction: the supplied artwork describes a 2024 announcement, pre-construction permitting, a $10–20 billion investment, 1,500 construction jobs, and water use equal to 20,000–30,000 homes per day. Current records identify BorderPlex Digital Assets and STACK Infrastructure as developers, Oracle as the principal technology participant, and show active construction with hundreds of workers onsite. Doña Ana County states that full-build potable use will average 20,000 gallons per day and peak at 60,000 gallons per day through a closed-loop system—dramatically below the artwork’s household equivalency. The county approved up to $165 billion in industrial revenue bonds; that is financing authority, not a verified construction-cost figure. The project’s proposed power system and related air permit remain active, disputed, and subject to state proceedings.

Name, scale, and water-attribution correction: the supplied artwork calls the Austin installation a 0.1-gigawatt “Dojo” facility and assigns it water use equal to 15,000–25,000 homes per day. Tesla named the Giga Texas training cluster Cortex in 2024 and described an initial 130-megawatt power-and-cooling requirement with possible expansion beyond 500 megawatts. Tesla disbanded the separate Dojo team in August 2025 and redirected staff and chip strategy, although later statements discussed a possible Dojo 3 revival. Austin Water data reported in 2026 show the entire Giga Texas industrial complex—not Cortex alone—used 556 million gallons of treated water in 2025, about 1.52 million gallons per day. No reviewed public record supports assigning the artwork’s household-equivalency figure, cooling method, $1–1.5 billion cost, or 1,500 jobs specifically to the AI cluster.

Status, timeline, and scale correction: the supplied artwork labels Meta Tulsa operational, with a 2021 announcement, 2022 construction start, $2–3 billion investment, 500 permanent jobs, direct Arkansas River surface-water supply, and water use equal to 20,000–30,000 homes per day. Meta publicly identified the previously coded Project Anthem and broke ground in April 2026. The company’s current figures are more than $1 billion invested, over 1,000 workers at peak construction, approximately 100 operational jobs once complete, and more than $25 million for local road and water infrastructure. The reviewed official sources do not substantiate the artwork’s daily water, cooling, river-supply, or household-equivalency claims. The project is under construction—not operational.
