notes: >-
  TeraWulf's Lake Mariner site on a 410-acre former coal-plant parcel,
  Niagara County, NY. No locality in signals — place resolved to county per
  precedence. Operator "TeraWulf" has no operators.yml entry — operator field
  omitted; TeraWulf needs an operators.yml entry. Deal structure per source:
  10-year HPC colocation lease with Fluidstack; Google (operators.yml id
  `google`) backstops ~$3.2B of the lease and takes ~14% equity in TeraWulf —
  recorded here as context, not as operator/developer. capacity_mw 360 =
  contracted total: CB-3/CB-4 at 200+ MW plus CB-5 adding 160 MW; phases kept
  in notes as one multi-phase site. Single-source (DataCenterDynamics) →
  confidence medium.
