Utah Speaker of the House Mike Schultz bought 640 acres of land near the proposed Box Elder data center on January 3, 2025. What a coincidence! A politician who had actual ethics and integrity would have disclosed this. elevateutah.news/p/the-call-is-… 1/2



The job numbers are speculative, the water protections are voluntary, and labeling public concern "misinformation" is not an answer, it's deflection. Our land, water rights, and the long-term health of the Great Salt Lake are too important to risk on promises alone. Utahns deserve binding commitments and independent oversight, not empty reassurances from the people profiting from this project.




Keep in mind that no environmental impact studies have been done on the now-approved data center. O'Leary wants to power this facility with natural gas in a state that already has some of the worst air quality in the country. This one data center could increase Utah's air pollution by 65% just on its own. There were other options. Natural gas was a choice.
