What changes the reading
- Reading the entity list is the fastest way to understand this site. A turbine warehouse and a mobile generation entity are not things a colocation landlord files.[1]
- The nuclear reactors are at federal application stage. Nothing here says any of them is approved or built, and the phase dates are the company's own targets.[2]
Still not public
- No reactor is approved and the timeline is the company's own.
- Which buildings the single certification actually covers is not stated.
- Water sourcing for the campus is not public.
- Cooling design is not public.

The registry entry for this facility comes from the Texas Comptroller's certified list of data centers holding a sales tax exemption. Owner, occupant and operator are roles in that filing rather than descriptions of who runs the building.
