奥利阿里4万英亩AI园区减半 — 犹他州仍不满意
凯文·奥利阿里因当地压力同意将犹他州数据中心项目削减2万英亩。尽管缩水，'stratos项目'仍比曼哈顿还大，表明当地环保反对正成为ai基础设施扩张的主要瓶颈。
kevin o'leary agreed to halve the footprint of his planned 40,000-acre data center in utah after state president j. stuart adams demanded a 75% reduction to protect the great salt lake. the revised plan removes 19,430 acres and preserves land as open space, yet the site remains massive—spanning more area than manhattan. this concession reflects intensifying local resistance to the physical resource demands of ai, specifically water and land consumption, as communities push back against energy-intensive infrastructure. developers will likely face stricter environmental mitigation requirements and zoning hurdles as the race for ai compute capacity expands into rural areas.
