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.

Wonder Valley Watch: We need to talk about Kevin

The 'Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery" edition about an unexpected twinning

The Missive

With little progress to report on the $70-billion Wonder Valley artificial intelligence data centre project promised for northern Alberta, Kevin O’Leary has announced he’s developing a twin AI data centre project in Utah, also named Wonder Valley.
💣 💣

The projects require 15 GW of power (7.5 gigawatts each), to be deployed in phases. Both are close to methane gas infrastructure, and both involve land purchases of up to 13,000 acres.

No one is willing to answer my questions or provide details on either project.

For projects of this scale and impact on local communities and the environment, you’d think some transparency and accountability would be part of the plan.

Republican efforts in Utah to overturn a new congressional map through a petition campaign are facing significant hurdles, with only half of the required signatures verified and reports of widespread fraud and coercion. Despite backing from Trump and MAGA groups, the chaotic signature gathering has led to accusations of deception, assault, and tampering, prompting Utah’s governor, Spencer Cox, to call for peaceful resolution. The initiative seeks to undo a judge-ordered map that favors Democrats, but its failure could mark a major setback for GOP efforts in the heavily Republican state. The campaign, already backed by over $4 million from Trump allies, risks falling short amid internal turmoil.

This is EXACTLY what you voted for, Utah! To kill small and medium businesses. Hope you like the results of electing a criminal/felon abomination to the highest office.

I made some updates to my post about Utah Prop 4 and the ongoing efforts to get it back on the ballot through signature gathering. If you're in Utah, stay informed and know what you're signing -- regardless of your political affiliations.

Defense attorneys have ONLY 3 VOTES OUT OF 15! How does removing them and stacking the commission with prosecutors and sheriffs make anything fair? My state is run by idiots!

How typical of corrupt GOP politicians! First lose at the ballot. Utahns voted FOR prop 4. Then try an endrun around it by rejecting the legally drawn up map from the independent commission. Then lose in state courts. Now, try to overturn it in federal court. Lying scumbags!
