What is the corruption you are alleging here? I live in Salt Lake City and I haven't heard any arguments against that data center that don't boil down to some kind of conspiracy theory or just a fundamental lack of understanding of scale and engineering. Are you claiming that the commissioners were bribed?

Why build data centers in water scarce, often hot deserts?

Perhaps folks are also upset the DCs will host AI that may affect their job prospects or at least compensation?

Isn't the salt lake an environmental disaster waiting to happen, especially as it is drained for more development?
