A Descriptive Record of Certification, Energy, and Capital Constraints on Large Language Model Deployment

Counts differ because each database indexes a different set of publications. We treat OpenAlex as the canonical count; Google Scholar is not shown (no API, and crawling it violates its ToS).

This paper describes. It does not predict, argue, or recommend. It records four sets of documents that exist as of September 16th, 2026: certification standards and their stated applicability; energy procurement filings and equipment lead times; capital exposure structures; and political statements and legislative texts. No conclusion is drawn. No timeline is forecast. The records are placed in sequence.
