Summary

Shark Tank star Kevin O’Leary has agreed to cut his massive "Project Stratos" data center in Utah by approximately 20,000 acres. This decision follows significant pressure from local residents, activists, and Utah Senate President J. Stuart Adams, who had urged for a 75 percent reduction and improvements in water conservation. Despite the reduction, the remaining 20,000-acre facility will still cover an area larger than Manhattan, continuing to raise environmental concerns regarding energy usage and potential pollution.
