Build 'GreenPath AI'—a $15K/year SaaS platform that provides AI-driven regulatory compliance and project optimization for renewable energy developers. The platform would: 1) Use AI to analyze federal, state, and local regulations and project documents (e.g., 'Permit X requires 3 additional studies'); 2) Provide a 'Regulatory Risk Dashboard' showing real-time compliance gaps (e.g., 'Transmission interconnection risk: High—submit Form 569 by July 15'); 3) Integrate with FERC, ISO/RTO, and BLM APIs to auto-generate permit applications and compliance reports; 4) Offer a 'Project Viability Score' showing financial impact of delays (e.g., 'Your project faces $250K in additional costs if delayed by 3 months').
