The planning commission is the real interconnection queue. A site can secure its power and still never get its vote. This master class treats consent as engineering work. Benefits that hold up in public. Engagement run as a sequence, not a single hearing. Legitimacy built across a whole portfolio, not one project at a time. It ends with a siting playbook you can defend. Glad you're here. — Myke Founder, Faraday Intelligence
