Americans oppose AI data centers in their own local area

Opposition is now a balance-sheet risk — and it's invisible to grid maps and zoning screens. The human and political layer is the hardest data in project success, and it's the only thing we do.

A delayed 60 MW facility loses $10.8M a month (STL Partners). The report is a rounding error.

How it works

Validated by humans. Powered by AI.

Every Flypower report passes through three structured steps — not delivered straight from a model.

1

AI data harvest

Government meetings, social media, news, regulatory filings, land use plans, and more: every public signal ingested and structured.

2

Analyst review

A team of analysts reviews every finding: votes, opposition patterns, risk scores. Every word of our reports gets validated by a human being. We stand by our work.

3

Editorial & leadership review

An independent editor reviews the full report for accuracy, clarity, and consistency before it reaches you.

Human in the loop at every stage — not raw AI output delivered to your team.

Who we serve

Three ways teams use Flypower

For developers

You're trying to get a project approved in a politically fragile county. We tell you if it's Clear Monitor Friction or Kill — before the hearing opens.

See the products

For capital partners

You're underwriting assets in counties where community risk isn't priced. We quantify it before you commit capital.

How we work with funds

For community engagement teams

Never walk into a hearing blind. We map who decides, who opposes, and what message lands — your strategic path to approval.

Testimonials

What the industry is saying

Unattributed by design — our clients don't disclose that they use us, and we return the favor.

"Using Flypower is like hitting the 'Easy Button.' It's an efficient, comprehensive, and cost-effective game-changer versus traditional consulting."

A leading data center developer

"We are no longer allowed to make an interconnection deposit without first obtaining a Flypower report."

A leading Fortune 500 renewable energy developer, on their internal investment rules

"The ability to save developers millions in lost development costs makes the price a simple rounding error."

A strategic origination and development partner

"The upfront identification of stakeholder maps, political cycles, and election timelines is incredibly helpful — we need to know who will approve this before we walk in the door."

A global hyperscale data center developer
Judgment, demonstrated

Same technology. Same state. Opposite verdicts.

By the time it's on a hearing agenda, the outcome is usually set. Both anonymized, from recent reports.

Flyover · West Texas

The coalition was already assembled — and there was still a path

Friction — proceed with conditions

Opposition next door already had a nonprofit, counsel, and a state senator. We mapped the narrowing window, the water question, and the terms to negotiate from.

Due Diligence · North Texas

Nothing about this site was winnable

Kill — client didn't pursue (5/5)

It shared infrastructure with a transmission line every local board had voted against, sat under a statutory city veto, and faced a 16-group coalition already mobilized.

And sometimes the answer is "you're solving the wrong problem": a Midwest client was working local zoning while the critical path was a 2+ year utility study. Letters of support first, then trigger the study — working zoning first meant 12+ months on the wrong track.
