Am I at risk?
Find your house, grove, or pasture in the rings. Each red flag is a proposed campus. Where the circles stack, the load stacks — the rumble is louder, the night air holds more heat, the dark sky goes brighter. One campus is a problem. Overlap is a different county.

Use my location pins your place and reads the miles — and the threat band — from every flag. Tap the map or a community name if you would rather keep GPS off. Nothing is stored. Distances are approximate. No building permit is asserted.
Streets for roads and water. Aerial for groves, canals, and rooftops. Turn a ring off if you want to read one threat at a time.

The five sites
Little Ranch Estates
1.5 mi to Project Beskar
Nearest of the five red flags. Other sites: Project Growler 2.3 mi · Silver Fox 2 3.1 mi · Silver Fox 1 3.1 mi · Project Tesoro 4.1 mi.
Rural agricultural / residential. Rated high risk on the locator map.
Record for Project TesoroHeat overlay · °F
5 overlapping ringsCambridge mean is 3.6°F at a campus — that is the average, not halfway to the 16.4°F extreme. Distance fades each campus toward 0 at 6 miles. Overlap adds. High is only if every campus hit the study extreme at once.
| Cambridge mean | Extreme bound | |

| NearestProject Beskar · 1.5 mi | +2.7°F | +12°F |
| All rings stacked5 campuses still reach you | +9.6°F | +44°F |
Land surface, not air at the porch. Linear add is an illustration, not a CFD. Extreme stacked is a bound — it assumes each campus matches the hottest sites in the study.
Water & power · one campus vs 5 stacked
basin / grid — not distanceUnlike heat, water and watts do not fade with miles. They hit the same utility and the same grid whether you live next door or across the Village. Combined is 5 × one campus. Closed-loop claims are not a posted design.
Water · million gallons / day
| Low | Typical | High | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One campus | 0.1 million gal/day | 1.3 million gal/day | 5.0 million gal/day |
| 5 stacked | 0.5 million gal/day | 6.3 million gal/day | 25 million gal/day |
Low 0.1 million · typical 1.25 million is the locator’s 100 MW evaporative band in a warm climate (1–1.5) · high 5 million is the locator ceiling. Consumptive if evaporated.
Power
| Typical | High | |
|---|---|---|
| One campus | 100 MW | 500 MW |
| 5 stacked | 500 MW | 2.5 GW |
Typical 100 MW matches the water example. High 500 MW is upper-hundreds per campus — not a 1 GW giga-campus. Five flags on one grid is 500 MW typical, 2.5 GW at the high end.
Low-frequency noise
1–2 milesMore variable. Residual energy can still disturb sleep in quiet rural settings.
Night sky
1–2 milesStrong local skyglow. Dominates a previously dark rural sky.
Measure from a local community
Flag coordinates are those published on the Map Locator. Heat numbers illustrate Cambridge land-surface ranges with a linear fade to 6 miles, then add where rings overlap — not a site energy model or air-temperature forecast. Outcomes still depend on scale, cooling, terrain, and whether anything is built.
