I need you to block the Stratos data center project that Box Elder County Commissioners just approved behind closed doors. This 40,000-acre project backed by Kevin O'Leary will consume more power than the entire state of Utah currently uses, and it's moving forward without an independent hydrologic study or environmental review. Utah's snowpack is at 19% of normal levels, the lowest ever recorded. The Great Salt Lake is drying up and creating a public health crisis. Allocating water to a billion-dollar data center in the middle of a historic drought is reckless. Hundreds of residents showed up to oppose this project, but three commissioners voted yes anyway in a closed-door decision. This project threatens our water security and ignores the environmental reality we're facing. The state cannot afford to give away critical water resources to a massive data center when our snowpack and the Great Salt Lake are at crisis levels. I'm asking you to use every tool available to stop this project from moving forward.
