GoKawiilVerge investigation details collapse of Kevin O'Leary's Utah mega data center plan
The Verge published a months-long investigation by reporter Josh Dzieza into a proposed 40,000-acre AI data center in Utah, known as Stratos or 'Wonder Valley' after Kevin O'Leary's Shark Tank nickname. The project, which envisioned nine gigawatts of power capacity, sparked intense local political backlash over how it was planned, announced and approved without residents' knowledge, and the effort has reportedly stalled.
