dadams eccfbdbad9 Add data center demographic, RUCA, and energy capacity analysis
Adds three coordinated changes:

- Request nameplate, summer, and winter capacity from the EIA
  operating-generator-capacity endpoint and project them as typed columns
  on energy_eia_operating_generator_capacity_flat. The original ingest
  only pulled latitude and longitude, leaving the flat table with no MW
  values despite its name.
- New cluster_analysis.ipynb joins master_data_centers to ACS-2024
  demographics, USDA RUCA-2020 codes (loaded from new/), and EIA
  generation capacity within 50 km of each site.
- Summary doc consolidates the headline findings: DC tracts skew higher
  income / more educated / more racially diverse than US average, the
  metro over-index is only 1.11x, the non-metro tail is dominated by
  hyperscalers in the Columbia River corridor (OR+WA = 66% of non-metro
  DCs), and Microsoft co-locates with Palo Verde Nuclear in Goodyear AZ.
