Utah's Box Elder County has approved the massive Stratos data center project, backed by Kevin O'Leary.
The 40,000-acre site could become one of the world's largest data centers, but it still needs permits before construction can begin.
Critics warn the project could strain electricity supplies, natural gas infrastructure, and scarce water resources in the region.
Environmental concerns are growing over pollution, land use, and the broader impact of AI infrastructure in Utah.
