The Clean Energy Graveyard
summary
The project claims 3,800 cancelled projects in the UK since 2010 and ships an open-source python pipeline & interactive web visualisation that ingests the REPD, enriches council documents with the GeoPandas, Pandas, Gemini API stack plus SQLite, FastAPI, Vite/Svelte and MapLibre, and surfaces locations, citations and probable causes. The demo works and exposes two big findings: Gemini speeds enrichment but hallucinates and changes over time, and NIMBY correlation is weak while a backlog of grid connections appears to explain many delays.
