  4. New filing stirs #GreatSaltLake fears as giant #Utah #DataCenter comes into view, eyes water needs

    by Jennifer Green
    Thu, May 21, 2026

    "A new #WaterRights filing tied to a proposed #MegaDatacenter in northern Utah is renewing fears about the future of the Great Salt Lake, just as new renderings offer the clearest look yet at what the massive development could become.

    "What's happening?

    "A proposal connected to the #BoxElderCounty data center project seeks to transfer 11 acre-feet of water from an unnamed spring in #HanselValley, KSL reported.

    "That marks a steep drop from a previous 1,900-acre-foot application that was withdrawn May 7 after prompting around 3,800 protests.

    [...]

    "The proposal is facing intense scrutiny because the Great Salt Lake is already under strain from long-term water shortages, and data centers can consume huge amounts of both electricity and water.

    "Critics worry that even relatively small individual filings could add up over time if the development expands toward its full vision, which includes 7.5 to 9 gigawatts of power-producing capacity."

  5. Tribune editorial: The voice of the people has pushed #Utah leaders to stop and think about massive #DataCenter. Keep it up.

    This is an issue that has united people across the political spectrum.

    By The Salt Lake Tribune Editorial Board
    | May 22, 2026

    "The fear that a ginormous, water-guzzling, air-befouling, weather-modifying data center planned for Utah’s northwest corner was a done deal seems to be easing just a bit. It’s not hard to see why.

    A handful of key state officials are now promising that, before the project actually gets built — if it ever does — the appropriate environmental reviews, with opportunities for public comment, will happen.

    "That doesn’t mean that the people who have stood up to what appeared to be a pre-greased mega-project can rest easy. Vigilance and activism are what have worked so far, and will be necessary going forward. As long and exhausting as that process might be.

    "It will take a lot of continual public outcry to counterbalance the monied interests pouring campaign contributions into the coffers of Utah Senate President #StuartAdams and other powerful worthies who have been pushing the plan.

    "Few Utahns had any inkling that a little-known state agency called the Military Installation Development Authority (#MIDA), which Adams chairs, had put its weight behind the #StratosProject, a proposed data center that would, at full build-out, generate and consume twice as much electricity as the whole state of Utah.

    "The Box Elder County Commission had to sign off on the project before the MIDA board could take over all land-use, water, energy, environmental and tax-abatement authority over the 40,000-acre project — immune from any democratic oversight.

    "Despite loud public objections, online and in person, commissioners did exactly that. Given that the land is privately owned, not part of any city and not zoned for any particular use, commissioners argued they really didn’t have the power to stop it.

    "But others do."

  6. The 23-Atomic-Bomb Valley: Why #Utah’s #AIDataCenter Is A #ClimateDisaster In The Making

    by Rex Freiberger
    Wed, May 20, 2026 at 11:18 AM EDT

    "Your state might be next. Utah counties just approved a data center so massive it would consume more power than the entire state currently uses, dump the heat equivalent of 23 atomic bombs daily into high desert, and potentially increase local #carbon emissions by 55%. Welcome to the #StratosProject#KevinOLeary’s 40,000-acre bet that #AI supremacy trumps everything else."

    [...]

    "Utah State University physicist Robert Davies calculated #Stratos would dump 16 gigawatts of #ThermalLoad into the surrounding valley—energy equivalent to 23 Hiroshima-scale atomic bombs worth of #heat every single day. You’re trying to cool massive server farms by blowing hot desert air over hot radiators, Davies notes, which doesn’t work well in high-altitude, arid conditions.

    "His projections show daytime temperatures rising 2-5°F and nighttime temperatures jumping 8-12°F across the region. #Desert #ecosystems depend on #NighttimeCooling to generate life-sustaining #condensation. Lose that temperature drop, and you’ve fundamentally altered how plants and animals survive in an already stressed #GreatSaltLakeWatershed."

  7. Here are my nuanced thoughts about Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary—who's behind the big Utah data center, and who went after two women in Utah who write about it and are opposed to it—and Shark Tank itself.

  8. #KevinOLeary’s Massive #DataCenter Project in #Utah Gets the Greenlight, Locals Are Furious

    The project would be more than twice the size of Manhattan and could consume more electricity than the entire state currently uses.

    By Bruce Gil
    Published May 6, 2026

    "The Box Elder County Commission voted on Monday to move forward with a proposed 40,000-acre #AI and #CloudComputing campus in a rural part of northern Utah near the #GreatSaltLake. The site would span more than twice the size of Manhattan.

    "The project, backed by O’Leary Digital, the infrastructure arm of O’Leary Ventures, is expected to eventually produce and consume up to 9 gigawatts of power. That’s roughly double the amount of electricity the entire state of Utah currently consumes, according to The Salt Lake Tribune.

    "The campus is expected to be built in phases and overseen by Utah’s Military Installation Development Authority (#MIDA). O’Leary proposed a similar project in Canada in 2024 and has referred to both developments as '#WonderValley.' "

    [...]

    "For his part, O’Leary has claimed, without evidence, that much of the opposition to the project was 'paid' and that the meeting was filled with 'professional protestors.'

    " 'We think that over 90% of the protestors are actually not people that live in Utah or Box Elder County. They’re being bussed in,' O’Leary said in a video posted on X.
    He also claimed backlash on social media surrounding the project was AI-generated.

    "O’Leary Ventures did not immediately respond to a human-issued request for comment from Gizmodo."

  9. Any Sovergn, or enemy of the US, who threatens citizens, or cause ANY type of Sovergn coordinated harm to citizens of the US, will be held accountable. If necessary retribution will be executed by the future Administration. If any Sovergn thinks they have a pass on this they are mistaken.

    And retribution for this will be a Sucker Punch

  10. If you are a Leader, I challenge you to buy American! Don't undermine your credibility with the US enemy made vehicles.

    All US Leaders must purchase vehicles made by USA Companies in the USA.

  11. People I have invented, an observation, that the countries that attacked the United States in the past are getting much more aggressive to the US Citizens even though they agreed to become peaceful, because they surrendered the war. Countless threats, and actual attacks have been endured by US in the lat few years

  12. Mark Zuckerberg and Mark Cuban are both billionaires. Zuckerberg began #Facebook, now #Meta. Cuban was a star of #SharkTank on television. Cuban is the only one of them who I have a lot of respect for. My next two messages here are about each of them.
