Infrastructure Wars
The fight over America’s data centers — who pays, who profits, who decides. Resources built from the record: censuses, ordinances, hearings, and the money trail.
Free — The Friction Map
Every live data-center fight in America, in two reports — Florida first.
The Friction Map: Florida (12 pages, 52 entries): the complete state record from an ordinance-level sweep of 49 counties, reconciled against John Dennison’s published reporting and cited throughout — where the two records disagreed, the disagreement is printed and flagged, not smoothed.
The Friction Map: National (14 pages, 144 entries across 32 state and federal groupings, Florida excluded): each entry carries its own status as of October 21, 2026. The two editions cross-reference each other where a fight in one bears on the other.
A living tracker: the Florida edition reissues every Friday and when a tracked Florida fight resolves; the National edition reissues monthly and on major resolutions.

The Data Center Fight Field Guide — $27
A data center was just announced in your county. What happens next — and who actually pays? This 24-page field guide walks the five acts of every data-center fight, names the players and their incentives, follows the money (franchise fees, tax abatements, water and power deals), and gives you the hearing-room questions and public-records requests that expose the real terms — before your town signs.
Written by John Dennison, retired Florida attorney and AI infrastructure analyst. Informational only; not legal advice.
The Ladder Ahead
The Moratorium Playbook ($97, in build) — how Dover, Indiantown, and Manatee were argued, what held up, what failed. A work tool for professionals, organized by player: the overt and covert strategies each side runs, tied to documented instances.
