TL;DR

Tech entrepreneur Kevin O’Leary admitted he had no evidence that China-funded groups were behind Utah anti-data-center protests and deleted posts backing his claim, after alleging a Chinese influence campaign. The Stratos Project’s two 20,000-acre sites in Box Elder County face mounting opposition, with a Deseret News/Hinckley Institute poll showing 60% of Utah voters oppose it and a state senator who supported the project losing his primary, signaling growing political backlash against the proposal.
