Xariga Macmalka Stratos ee Utah: O'Leary wuxuu ka dhigay khilaaf siyaasadeed oo weyn
Kevin O'Leary wuxuu ku dhawaaqay inuu ku dhiso macmal macmal oo waaweyn oo leh 40,000 acre oo dhul ah iyo 9 gigawatt oo kharash ah, laakiin wuxuu ka dhigay khilaaf siyaasadeed oo weyn markii uu u gudbiyay hay'ad dowladeed oo aan dadka deegaanka ogayn.
Qorshaha Macmalka Stratos iyo Magaca Wonder Valley

Macmalka Stratos wuxuu ahaa midka ugu weyn ee adduunka, laakiin dadku waxay u yaqaannaan Wonder Valley, magaca uu O'Leary ku caan baxay barnaamijka Shark Tank.

Dib-u-dhaca iyo Khilaafka Dadka Deegaanka
Hay'adda MIDA waxay awood u leedahay inay ka hor istaagto qorshayaasha deegaanka, laakiin waxay u gudubtay O'Leary iyadoo aanan la xaqiijin inay aqbalayso maamulka gobolka. Dadka deegaanka waxay ogaadeen qorshaha markii uu dhawaaqay, taasoo keentay khilaaf siyaasadeed oo weyn.

Kevin O'Leary's plan to build the world's largest data center in Utah, known as Stratos or Wonder Valley, unraveled after months of opaque approvals and a furious backlash from local residents who were kept in the dark until the project was publicly announced.
A Gigantic Project Announced Overnight
Kevin O'Leary, the Shark Tank investor, revealed his plan in late April to construct a 40,000-acre artificial intelligence campus called Stratos, also branded as Wonder Valley, in Utah. The project was described as the world's biggest data center, requiring nine gigawatts of power—more than double the average power usage of the entire state of Utah.
The project was technically called Stratos, but it is more prominently known as Wonder Valley, a reference to O'Leary's nickname on Shark Tank. By the time O'Leary was talking about the project on Fox in late April, MIDA had approved it, but the county had not approved the project by late April.
Secrecy and a Bypassed Local Government
The project went through an agency called MIDA, the Military Installation Development Authority, which has a luxury ski resort that gives veterans discounts and began as a way to create projects on military property that was unused or could be put to more economic use. MIDA has a lot of power to override local land use, but in order to establish a project area, the board has to ratify it and all the landowners in the area have to give their consent and then the local government must give its consent.
The county didn't even know about the project until about a month before it was announced. The county commissioners started hearing rumors about the data center in late March, and the county commissioners had a meeting in late April when word started to trickle out. MIDA voted to approve the project two days after the county commissioners' meeting in late April.
A Political Firestorm Halts the Project
The project was planned, announced, and approved without telling local residents, which created a political firestorm. Kevin O'Leary's big defense of the project is that states compete with these tax breaks, and Utah gave him these tax breaks. However, the political firestorm stopped Stratos in its tracks.
There was a defamation lawsuit because O'Leary referred to all of his critics as Chinese spies on Fox News, and Fox News had to apologize on the air. The project was planned, announced, and approved without telling local residents, which created a political firestorm that ultimately brought the project to a halt.
