What the IVDC Signals to Every Tech Investor Watching California

Site selectors are watching what happens to the IVDC. A permitted, court-validated project that gets blocked anyway tells them everything they need to know about whether California is open for business.

Data Centers Don’t Belong on the Coast. They Belong in Imperial Valley.

Silicon Valley is full. The data centers that power AI have to be built somewhere. The land, power, and grid access that make Imperial Valley optimal exist in very few other places.

The 950,000-Square-Foot Question: What a Hyperscale Data Center Actually Looks Like

The IVDC is nearly a million square feet of data infrastructure. Understanding what that means — and what it doesn't mean — changes the environmental and community impact analysis.

From Farmland to Tech Hub: The Transition Imperial Valley Has Been Building Toward

Imperial Valley's agricultural economy is the foundation of its history. Geothermal, lithium, and data center investment are the foundation of its future. The transition requires getting the IVDC right.

The National Security Case for Building AI Infrastructure in America’s Energy Hubs

The United States' AI competitive position depends on domestic compute infrastructure. Imperial Valley's geothermal power makes it a strategically important location for that infrastructure.

Lithium Valley Meets Silicon Valley: The Integrated Tech Ecosystem Imperial Valley Can Build

Geothermal power. Lithium extraction. AI compute. Battery storage. On one independent grid, in one geography. The integrated tech ecosystem Imperial Valley is positioned to build is unprecedented.

Fighter, Not Felon: Sebastian Rucci’s Legal Record and What It Actually Shows

Ohio charges: dismissed. FBI seizure: money returned with interest. Sixth Circuit: ruled for transparency. The opposition calls this a checkered past. The courts call it a clean record.

The AI Arms Race Needs Power. Imperial Valley Has It. This Shouldn’t Be Complicated.

The global competition to build AI infrastructure is fundamentally a competition for power. Imperial Valley has the power, the land, and the grid. What it needs is for officials to get out of the way.

The Court Has Ruled. The Law Is Clear. It’s Time to Build.

The Superior Court ruled the opposition legally insufficient. The project is approved by right. The legal, economic, and environmental cases are all resolved. The only thing left is the will to let it happen.

The Vertically Integrated Energy-AI Campus: Imperial Valley’s Unique Opportunity

Geothermal generation, battery storage, lithium extraction, and AI compute — in the same geography, on the same independent grid. This combination doesn't exist anywhere else in America.

Lithium Valley, the Data Center, and the Economic Future Imperial Valley Keeps Almost Capturing

Imperial Valley has been on the verge of economic transformation for a decade. Lithium Valley. Geothermal. Now AI infrastructure. The pattern of almost-but-not-quite has a common cause.

Z-Global and the IID: Who Is Really Blocking Imperial Valley’s Energy Future?

The federal lawsuit names Z-Global — a consultancy with deep IID ties — as having a financial motive to block the IVDC's access to the IID grid. IID ratepayers deserve answers.
