Utah Demands Stricter Oversight on Kevin O'Leary-Backed Data Center Amid Local Protests

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox says residents’ concerns about the Kevin O’Leary-backed Stratos data center in Box Elder County will be addressed with phased approvals (first cap of 1.5 GW) and state reviews of air quality, water use, and cooling systems, as protesters worry about energy use, noise, and water impacts; O’Leary counters that opposition may come from 'professional protesters' and AI-generated posts, emphasizing sustainability and community rights.

Utah communities push back as billionaire-backed AI data center moves forward near Great Salt Lake

Box Elder County approved a 40,000‑acre Stratos AI data‑center campus near the shrinking Great Salt Lake to power a 9‑GW facility with a natural‑gas plant, a project backed by Kevin O’Leary that officials say could create roughly 10,000 construction jobs and 2,000 permanent positions. Critics warn the plan could harm the local ecosystem and water resources, calling for independent studies, more information, and a referendum to overturn the decision; a referendum petition is being reviewed, and the first gigawatt could be online within two years as early work is expected to begin this fall.
