## Resource

Utah’s Stratos Project is igniting a fierce debate: a nine-gigawatt data center promises economic boom and national security wins, but critics warn it could devastate water resources and ecosystems in a state already struggling with scarcity. With looming threats to the Great Salt Lake, rising local temperatures, and disputes over water rights, the project has become a flashpoint for resource management and public accountability. Despite claims of water efficiency and underground sourcing, opponents and environmental groups are sounding the alarm — and voters have already responded, ousting key political allies in a clear message: Utah’s future must be decided with the land, water, and people in mind.
