Stratos data center project cut in half amid local protests

The Stratos data center project in Utah has been reduced in size by 50% due to intense local backlash. Residents' top concern was the project's impact on local waters, particularly the Great Salt Lake. Kevin O'Leary, the project's developer, regrets not being more transparent and has agreed to cut the project's scope. The original plan was to build on 40,000 acres, but it will now be built on 20,000 acres.
