Data Centers Under Fire | Salt Lake City News

While some argue China wouldn’t sabotage its own interests—given its booming AI presence here—governments often act unpredictably, and real concerns about environmental impact and energy use remain. Polls show strong local opposition, especially in places like Utah, where many feel the costs outweigh the benefits. But as we rush to react, we might later regret letting misinformation shape our response to critical tech infrastructure.
