All claims verified verbatim. One minor misattribution: the article says 'As Scientific American notes... PJM running a study process that typically extends four to six years from application to electricity generation.' SciAm says only 'years to be approved' — the specific 'four to six years' framing is in PRNewswire and APPA, not SciAm. Fact is correct, source attribution is wrong.

APPROVE. Primary-source verified, conservative framing, all major claims check out.
