@HeidiWhitaker Again, your numbers are incorrect. The data center you refer to uses the eq of 800 homes (SL Tribune). That data center is also included in the aggregate stat that the 7 data centers with verifiable numbers equal the water use on average of about 223 homes each.

@ChrisInSLC The data center at the point of the mountain ALONE is using over 130 million gallons - equal to 2,100 households.

I have a great water conservation idea: Stop building data centers in Utah!

@ChrisInSLC You presumed I accepted your numbers. I don't. I trust Grok's numbers over yours. Those numbers are unacceptable to waste on machines. Eating is necessary. Farmers matter more than machines. It's that simple.

@HeidiWhitaker What number do you believe? How much water do data centers use according to your Grok? Are you OK that 15-20% of Utah ag, including the crops with the highest water needs, ie alfalfa, are sent overseas? Alfalfa/hay is 80% of UT crop land, 30% goes overseas, 2/3 goes to China.

@HeidiWhitaker So what is it exactly about a data center do you not like? Because I've already shown it has a negligible effect on total water use, so if you're concerned about amounts of water in Utah, not sure why you'd target such a tiny user of water.

@ChrisInSLC One industry FEEDS people and animals.

@NormieUtah Funny how following the law, precedent, etc makes you an activist when the ruling doesn't go your way. How about the Supreme Court? Are they all left-wing activists as well? Seems like the Utah Lege lost every time they were in court. Maybe time to look for a new boogeyman.

I’m not much into the personal name calling but judges are now acting as partisan political actors so they can certainly be treated like ones. Left wing Activist Partisan Incompetent Dereliction of duty Judicial malfeasance That is all accurate and seems fair game give her performance and conduct.🤷‍♂️ They blew the idea that they are somehow beyond reproach and therefore untouchable.

@HeidiWhitaker So you're fine with one industry using 80% of all the water in the state, but you have a problem with an industry that uses less than 1/10 of 1%?

@ChrisInSLC I'm OK with farmers using water.

@0xCoburn @TuskedUp It's almost like these people spout opinions utterly devoid of any facts to back them up. Look up data on home and rent price increases and the increases in immigration. There's literally 0 correlation. In fact when immigration was at its peak increase, prices didn't change.

@TuskedUp What’s insufferable is the lack of awareness liberals have, it’s almost like none of you have thought it through. Yes they contribute to rising cost of living, no it’s not a drop in the bucket. The greater issue is they contribute to the division of our greatest strength, unity

You all are insufferable. International immigrants are not the cause for Utahs high housing costs.

@HeidiWhitaker You want facts? It's estimated one data center uses the equiv water as 223 homes in Utah. That's less than 0.01% of all water use in Utah. Agricultural use = 80%.

@ChrisInSLC Ask grok.

@NormieUtah It is amazing the display of intellectual dishonesty you all continue to put out there on this issue, continuing to claim that this whole mess is thanks to it activist judge, completely ignoring the actual facts and reality of the situation.

Hey, Blake Moore’s Better Boundaries organization has some thoughts. Judge picked activist map = fair and real representation REPRESENTATIVE drawn map, elected every 2 years by voters = not real representation 🤦‍♂️

@jazzmomm Top with fav toppings. To make our kids' fav "Grandpa's sauce", whisk about half tomato sauce and half red wine vinegar, usually one of the small 6oz cans of Hunts. Generous tablespoon of ground oregano. Sauce should taste just about evenly tomato-y and vinegar-y. Enjoy! -END

@jazzmomm Cook them another couple min, then use 2 spatulas to fold each taco into normal taco shape, continue to cook each half side until starting to brown and crispy on outside. Remove to large paper-towel-lined platter until all are cooked... 4/

My husband got me a Blackstone for Christmas. Got it all set up and seasoned. Please share your favorite recipes/things to cook on it!

@houston_brogan When will team owners add co-branding, and merch, to the Jazz team store at the airport? Still no sign of Mammoth there, and seems like such a missed opportunity!

Mammoth mailbag time! What do you want to know about the team? Drop your questions in the comments and I'll answer in an article later this week ⬇️✉️ #TusksUp

@BrentFestge @NormieUtah @TuskedUp Also, there's literally no correlation between increases in illegal immigrants into Utah and home values. II from 2008-2021 was about net 0, yet home prices doubled. 2022-23 spike in II 30-40% but home prices flattened. Largest home increases correlate with net 0 immigration.

@ChrisInSLC @NormieUtah @TuskedUp How does a huge increase in demand not affect home prices? I need to go back to school and tell them they’re teaching economics all wrong.

Can guarantee most these people in the comments bought a starter home for under $300k 12 years ago and rolled the equity into a nicer home. It’s always people like that who bitch about anything with density.

@BrentFestge @NormieUtah @TuskedUp There's not a "huge increase in demand" from illegals. They make up less than 5% of total Utah population by consensus estimates. They mostly live in rentals. The ones that do live in a SFH are living with a legal resident who owns it. Illegals are obv not out buying a 4bd/3bath

@NormieUtah @TuskedUp Learn some facts. There aren't enough immigrants, let alone illegal immigrants, to affect home prices in any meaningful way.

@TuskedUp 20 years ago, but yes. You know who to blame.👇

@NormieUtah @TuskedUp You want to make the housing market worse? Deport all the illegals. Immigrants make up 20% of the construction workforce. If they are gone, home building grinds to a halt, and prices skyrocket even more.

@NormieUtah @TuskedUp And the supply of living units would be below what's necessary regardless of immigrant population. It's the Utah fixation on 1/2 acre SFH, demonizing MFH as just a place for crime and illegals. It's the bad zoning laws, lack of mixed use areas, and not building enough.
