Why it matters

The strategic read

Adds the second Millard County behind-the-meter AI campus to the map. Joule is not framed around a named hyperscaler lease yet; the signal is entitled land, water rights, gas interconnects and generator supply being packaged as speed-to-power infrastructure for AI workloads.
