A few weeks ago, the Stratos Data Center was supposed to be inevitable.
Then Utahns showed up and made “inevitable” look a little less inevitable.
So yes, we would like to offer our deepest, most sincere, completely unironic thanks to Utah’s Republican leaders for bravely discovering public input, environmental concerns, and local control right AFTER everyone got mad.
But the real thank-you goes to BEAR (), organizers, journalists, advocates, and regular Utahns who refused to accept that massive development deals should be decided in the dark.
Your work is changing things. And if politicians are suddenly worried about the Great Salt Lake, water, power, transparency, and whether communities deserve a say, great. We love growth. Personal growth, specifically.
Now they can prove it by fixing the problem they helped create.

Espionage accusation, but let's make it petty fashion.
After Kevin O'Leary showed up on Fox News wearing a "Utah National Security" hat to defend the Stratos data center project, we had to make our own.
Because the real security threat isn't Utahns asking questions about a 40,000-acre gas-powered data center on the Great Salt Lake watershed. It's the water, air quality, and carbon emissions impact of the project itself.
