Kevin O'Leary Utah data center controversy
Kevin O'Leary proposed a 40,000-acre AI data center in rural Utah and faced pointed questioning from Tucker Carlson about the project's scope. Nearby residents say state approvals and new local rules have effectively limited their ability to file objections or petition against the development. Residents also warn the megaproject could strain scarce water supplies and introduce invasive plants, raising concerns that permitting for massive AI facilities could reshape rural land use and reduce public participation.
Spoiler they are hardworking Americans trying to stop Kevin O’Leary from ruining Utah with a 40,000 acre data center podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...
Barry Hochberg14Being a billionaire these days doesn't necessarily mean one is smart. He's just another TV billionaire who thinks he's right all the time, even if he lies about it. Remind you of anyone else from TV?

In case you missed it, this is happening in Utah. O'Leary, who is pushing it, lives in Canada, so he won't be impacted by it. The data center is proposed to be twice the size of Manhattan and will be built on 40,000 acres. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
DedicatedToDemocracy5O'Leary lives in Florida so it won't impact him.
thee-lisa-ferguson.bsky.social4This Canadian would like to apologize to Utah. O'Leary is a MAGA-simping pig.
wyth 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 🇬🇱3O’Leary hasn’t forgotten about Canada. www.theenergymix.com/earths-large...
figmo2I saw a video that he was at a meeting with some residents about it. Why didn't anybody call him out on that then? Frankly, I think Canda should revoke his citizenship and make him leave.
Dr. Bast 🇨🇦2Oh don't worry. O'Leary is backing one here in Alberta too. Man shits in his own backyard just fine.
7r-ick.bsky.social2It is time for an all-nation agreement to end war and to begin an all-nation climate change consequences & species conservation cooperative. Mark Carney is the one to lead the solution to the World's problems: cooperation, clean energy, human rights advocacy, sustainable development.
Former Rep. Jason Chaffetz says he was the person who introduced Kevin O’Leary to the people in Utah pushing the data center.
STEMthebleeding8Friendly reminder that Jason Chaffetz leaked the location of a classified CIA annex in Libya live on CSPAN which forced the Obama admin to basically end all operations there. Also friendly reminder, HE is the one who leaked the "Comey letter" to the New York Times from his position in the House.
Jeffertoya4The thing that I like about Jason is how he is the exception that disproves the rule. One ought not judge a book by its cover. But damned if he doesn’t look like the exact sort of creepy, foul-intent individual that he is. He’s kind of special that way. Props.
Scott 🏳️🌈3So it’s garbage people all the way down!
Mina2At this rate, Utah may end up with all of the data centers.
