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.”

Kevin O'Leary has combined the Utah project with the Alberta project together on ONE website.

That's...unique.

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.

We need to talk about Kevin.

There’s been a twinning of Wonder Valley.

Double the required power. Double the emissions. Double the water use.

And two communities potentially holding 26,000 acres of land for hyperscaled AI data centres, waiting for the investment dollars to come through - in one case, Albertans have been waiting for more than a year.

Behind-the-scenes on O’Leary’s latest scheme.
