  1. Checking my notes: I went back and reread an interview I did about Wonder Valley Utah. And I followed up with an Alberta official who now says he may have been “misinformed” about Utah.

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

    "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."

  10. A week after Utah Senate President Stuart Adams signed off on the Stratos AI data centre via his role as chair of the Military Installation Development Authority, his Political Action Committee (PAC) received $135,000 from five different companies/individuals who have done business with MIDA in the past.

    There’s no evidence any have a direct connection to O’Leary’s AI data centre but they include construction companies, electrical contractors and developers.

    Each made $20-40,000 donations, doubling the amount the PAC already had in its bank account.

    “Adams is fighting for his political life in the most competitive re-election campaign of his career.”

  15. Stratos : un data center qui chauffe comme 23 bombes nucléaires… par jour. #NotGorafi #datacenter #stratos #IA
    23 bombes nucléaires. Par jour. Non, ce n’est pas le pitch d’un film catastrophe. C’est l’ordre de grandeur avancé pour Stratos, un projet de data center géant en cours de développement dans l’Utah, aux États-Unis.

  16. Remember when Microsoft made promises about #datacenters and how they wouldn't be bad for people?

    Well #KevinOLeary 🇨🇦(Sharktank) is taking another route and is pushing the #Stratos project in #Utah, an #AI data center twice the size of Manhattan❗️

    Not only is it threatening Utah’s power grid and the Great Salt Lake, but O’Leary is now attacking local critics like #GabiFinlayson 💚 on Fox national TV, calling them 🇨🇳 “Chinese spies” just for standing up for their 🇺🇸 state 🤯

  21. In five short weeks, Kevin O’Leary’s Utah version of Wonder Valley has thrown the state into a massive conflict over water, air pollution, heat islands, and the community benefits of AI data centres.

    Throw in questions about property rights, accusations of paid protesters, a mysterious Department of War connection, and a Chinese government interference conspiracy…well, you’ve got a story.

    Here’s my update on how a Canadian celebrity investor has shaken a US state facing a drought and water crisis.
