A massive hyperscale data centre project tied to investor Kevin O’Leary is moving forward in Box Elder County, Utah after receiving approvals from a state military development authority, with final local authorization now the only remaining hurdle, according to the Salt Lake Tribune.
The Military Installation Development Authority, known as MIDA, approved multiple steps on Friday to advance the multibillion-dollar development project, which is being pitched as a major economic engine for rural northern Utah. The project is expected to include 2,000 permanent jobs and large-scale infrastructure tied to military installations in the state. It is expected to consume more energy than the entire rest of the state, the Tribune reports.
Box Elder County commissioners had been scheduled to give final approval Friday, but pushed the decision to Monday, after previously saying they had only recently learned details of the proposal. Commissioner Tyler Vincent said during a Wednesday meeting, “I felt like I was drinking out of a fire hose, and trying to digest all of this so quickly.”
The development, led by O’Leary Digital, would span roughly 40,000 acres of private land plus about 1,200 acres of state and federal property, including portions of the Utah Test and Training Range. MIDA officials said the structure requires association with military facilities, including Hill Air Force Base and Utah National Guard sites.

What benefits?
All designed to end the remaining freedom we have.
AI will soon figure out “Get rid of the humans. They are inefficient and inferior to AI.”
“What benefits?”
What employment? Data Centers employ few people.
Anyone believe that the denizens of rural northern Utah will get these jobs? It’ll be H1Bs and some spooks.
Where da White wimmen at ?
Of course you are my bright little star
I’ve miles and miles of files
Pretty files of your forefather’s fruit
And now to suit our great computer
You’re magnetic ink
They were busy with other things that year: May 15, 1869. Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton founded the National Woman Suffrage Association, which coordinated the national suffrage movement.
When a politician says a project will be of great benefit to his state, he means that there will be lots of money for grift and graft, and politicians from both parties will get a cut.
And water............?
I hear they’re talking about building one of those thingy’s around here, should I stock up on tinfoil?
Nuclear is the only option.
Utah’s population is all of 3.55 million people spread out in a population density of 42 people per square mile.
That a large data center would use more energy than Utah is not surprising.
And all of a sudden Jeff Bezos isn’t concerned about the environment anymore... I wonder why?
Windmills and solar panels aren’t enough to power these data-centers... You need good old oil and gas to generate that much power and rivers full of water to cool them down.
2,000 people / 40,000 acres = one person every 20 acres, if uniformly distributed.
Utah has more white collar grifters than any other state. Mormons are all full of pyramid schemes and multilevel marketing. The fraud who sells “The Patch” pseudo analgesic “patch” is at the head of the crowd. It’s an unpowered piece of plastic which “harnesses ambient energy” and magically directs it to your aches and pains.
Where they getting the water and electricity? The dumbasses in Utah probably haven’t thought about that yet.
