utah now has 65 data centers operating or in development

Utah’s data center boom comes with questions residents deserve answers to.

Where will the electricity come from? How much water will each project require? Who pays for the infrastructure? And how much say do nearby communities have before decisions are made?

Promises about investment and jobs deserve scrutiny, along with claims about water use, energy demand and environmental impacts. Residents deserve clear information about what’s proposed and what it could mean for their community.
