  1. In five short months, 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.

  6. Wonder Valley is now 65 square kilometres, and 9 GW of power is needed to run the facility using methane gas (up from 7.5GW).

    And a recent water licence for 6 million cubic metres of water per year will need to be quadrupled or O’Leary will have the power to back out of the deal.

    And it has been exempted from having to do an environmental impact assessment.

    Technology and Innovation Minister Nate Glubish facilitated a meeting between Kevin O’Leary and federal AI Minister Evan Solomon to discuss Wonder Valley, but did not respond to my emailed questions about what was discussed.

    Alberta’s AI data centre strategy in action.

    My latest report on what’s been happening with this mega project in northern Alberta.

  11. Wonder Valley update coming tomorrow!

    I've been wading through court documents and regulatory decisions, piecing together timelines based on heavily redacted Access to Information packages...and things are getting wilder by the hour.

    The story will be published overnight and I'll have links tomorrow.

    Meanwhile, I just saw this from Wired.

    Add Wonder Valley to the list - it's going to be big.
