Creekstone Energy
Creekstone Energy develops purpose-built power infrastructure for hyperscale AI data centers. The company's flagship project, the Delta Gigasite in Delta, Utah, encompasses over 1,100 acres with plans for 10+ gigawatts of capacity from natural gas, solar, and potential nuclear power sources.
The thesis is simple but uncommonly executed: the future of AI requires integrating the power plant with the data center. Most of the industry treats them as separate problems. Creekstone treats them as one.

Beyond Synthesis: Legitimacy, Leverage, and the New Physics of Global Order argues that the defining condition of our era is not any single crisis but stacking — the persistence of incompatible logics operating simultaneously. The book introduces the Compass, a six-node analytical instrument built on five forces: Legitimacy, Liquidity, Logistics, Lethality, and Learning.
The companion tool, Compass Graph, provides real-time systems monitoring based on the book's framework.
