National Resource Watch Is Building a Public Resource Control Room

Field notes

National Resource Watch organizes investigations around a five-part chain: water, power, money, records, and math. Its Granbury case study uses Lake Granbury as a local lens for municipal supply, generation, Bitcoin mining, proposed AI-scale loads, heat, and infrastructure. The homepage reports 103 national staging evidence records with stable IDs, and labels values by evidence class rather than flattening estimates into facts. It also describes receipts exposing formulas, inputs, units, assumptions, and source trails, while unresolved records remain explicitly marked.
