The Stratos data center project in Utah, backed by Kevin O'Leary, has been cut by 50% due to intense local opposition over water rights and environmental concerns. Originally planned to cover 40,000 acres with a power demand twice Utah's current peak, the project faced thousands of protests, particularly about its massive water consumption threatening the Great Salt Lake. Despite approval through a state authority that bypasses local zoning, the backlash has led to withdrawn water applications and new environmental study laws. This development signals significant risks for investors in large-scale data centers, especially in resource-limited areas.
