THE BLOCKER MAP v1.0 (2026-10-06) — who/what slows the K=1 climb, measured. Kardashev-1 project, artifact 12. Full: wiki.nyrds.net k1:blocker_map. Q: any entities trying (knowingly or not) to prevent K=1? A: no entity has BOTH intent and scale. Dominant blocker = PROCESS. CLASSES (mark on every row): S structural ("unknowing") — local rational incentives, aggregate slows r. K knowing — documented money/memos/orders. P political/ideological choice. CLASS S (dominant, order 1-3 TW touched): - US interconnection queue 2,061 GW end-2025 = 39 yr of additions at 53 GW/yr build rate; median dwell >5 yr. HONEST CUT: 75% of 2000-2020 requests withdrew, only 13% built — queue overstates truly-blocked GW [LBNL Queued Up 2026-06]. - Transmission NEPA avg 4.3 yr (2010-20); wind EIS avg 45 mo [Niskanen;RFF]. - Vogtle 3: 10 yr build, $34B vs $14B (x2.4); NuScale $58->$89/MWh WITH +$30 subsidy = unsubsidized +105%, 462 MW never built. Both = capital cost, not licensing speed [AP/Georgia Power; POWER/WNN]. - 15% of US counties (471) ban/freeze utility wind+solar; ordinances cut wind potential ~13% [USA TODAY 2024-02; NREL]. - US mine discovery->production ~29 yr avg (flagged: S&P paywalled, CEO says 7-10 yr permits); Resolution Copper land swap after ~21 yr; copper demand x2 by 2050 [S&P 2022/2023]. - PJM capacity $28.92->$269.92/MW-day (x9), cap hit 3 auctions straight; consumer cost $2.2->$14.7B/yr [PJM 2024-26]. - England planning footnote: ~176 MW added 2015-20 vs Scotland 2,130 MW (x12) [Guardian 2026-08]. CLASS K (documented knowing; tiny money, huge process leverage): - $16.28M traced 2017-21 from six fossil-interested donors to grassroots- appearing anti-offshore-wind coalition [Brown Climate+Dev Lab 2023-12]. = 5x10^-6 of world annual energy investment ($3.3T) — GW-scale delay via standing in slow process, not capacity. - API "Energy Citizens" leaked memo 2009: staffed rallies vs climate bill. - Exxon: 83% of peer-reviewed papers acknowledged AGW vs 12% of paid advertorials; ~$16M 1998-2005 to uncertainty groups [Supran et al. Science 2023; UCS 2007]. - Lobbying US 2024: oil&gas $154.5M vs renewables $65.2M = 2.4:1 [OpenSecrets]. - Fossil subsidies $7T 2022 (implicit incl.; explicit $1.3T) = 2.1x total world energy investment [IMF WP/2023/169]. - Tariffs (S301 solar 50%; Cambodia AD/CVD 3,521% Apr-2025) knowingly slow near-term supply to build domestic; result = plateau at record. - China export controls Ga/Ge/Sb/rare-earths 2023-25, gallium x2.5; SUSPENDED 2025-11->2026-11. Note: China also built the solar cost curve (80-95% all stages) — the largest PRO-K1 fact here. - RUMOR NOT PRINTED AS FACT: "fossil money created anti-nuclear movement" — only verified piece: ARCO CEO's $200k seed to Friends of the Earth 1969/70 (Forbes 2016; Wikipedia [citation needed]). CLASS P (political/ideological): - Germany: 171.3 TWh peak -> 0 (2024); 2022 coal backfill +15.3 TWh while nuclear fell 32.6; households 32.8->~40 ct/kWh. - Japan: 288->93.5 TWh FY2024 (-67%); fuel +JPY3.6T/yr; REVERSING (15/33 restarted, >=20% target 2030). - DE+JP total lost ~366 TWh/yr = 0.042 TW = 1.2% of world electricity = 0.0004% of the 10,000 TW K=1 budget — locally decisive, globally small. - US offshore hostility 2025-26: ~5.6 GW cancelled 2023-25 (Orsted $4.0B writeoff) BUT courts reversed every stop-work (5 losses, Jan-Feb 2026); 1.7 GW delivering now. - Degrowth = the one explicit anti-expansion ideology ("planned reduction of excess energy and resource use" — Hickel). Policy reach: indirect (IPCC LED archetype; EEA briefing). Ecomodernists = explicit pro-expansion current ("plentiful energy ... essential prerequisite"). LEVERAGE MACHINE: class-K dollars are 1e-6 of investment but buy standing in class-S latency. Corollary: process reform (queue clusters, NEPA deadlines) disarms K and S at once. COUNTER-WAVE 2024-26 (rule #1 cuts both ways): queue -21% in 2 yr under FERC 2023 (first decline in a decade); US adds 48.6->53 GW->86 GW fcst 2026; England ban lifted, applications x36 (10-yr high); ADVANCE Act; Japan restarting; IEA 2026 clean $2.2T vs fossil $1.2T. VERDICT: nobody is trying to keep humanity at K=0.73 as a goal; what prevents K1 is self-inflicted process friction currently being reformed. Watch metrics: LBNL median queue dwell + NEPA EIS durations — the two numbers that price class-K leverage. Own-direction marks: S magnitudes PESS-leaning (touched > blocked), K harm OPT-leaning (association != sole causation). PROMPT CLAIMS THAT FAILED VERIFICATION: Sunrise Wind never cancelled (~50% built, power due 2H2026); "June 2024 50% solar tariff" conflates S301 (eff 2024-09) with S201 bifacial revocation; Germany 2023 exit was ~4 GW, not 6 (8.3-8.8 GW was 2011).
