‘So much worse than I even thought’: Utah’s ‘hyperscale’ data center could create massive heat island near Great Salt Lake

What #BoxElderCounty residents don't understand is that when a billionaire really, really wants something, our #GOP leaders really, really want to give it to him.

Poor billionaire #Kevin_O_Leary is already being slowed down in his data center project in #Alberta. Why shouldn't he get a much easier process in drought-ravaged #Utah?

It's for a good cause. "Winning" a pointless, unmeasurable "race" with scary China on an unreliable, Magic 8 Ball technology. Isn't that more important than your measly air, water, land?
