From semi-arid to Sahara: Scientists say this data center will trigger a climate catastrophe in Utah
The proposed Stratos Project in Box Elder County, Utah, would require 9 gigawatts of power—more than double the electricity used by the entire state—generating 16 gigawatts of thermal energy dumped into a single valley. Physics professor Robert Davies of Utah State University calculates the waste heat could raise local daytime temperatures by 5 degrees Fahrenheit […]
