Utah's economy and environment will suffer if Stratos Data Center is built

 Collected impacts of Stratos project exposed-a random collection

Did you know that the Stratos project would be built on a very young shield volcano, in an active section of seismic belt, and atop liquefied deposits? All three are serious geologic hazards that drive up costs of construction. 

Stratos Project's booster plan to plunk their delicate infrastructure in one of the most active seismic belts east of the San Andreas fault system. Hansel Valley and Pocatello Valley earthquakes shook this area in the last century and repeats are inevitable.

In addition, the Stratos Project is within one of the young volcanic fields of Utah.  It is called the NW Utah Volcanic field. If the numerous volcanoes in the project footprint stay quiet, there could be an eruption from one of the nearby volcanic centers.

Volcanoes of the Stratos project area have notably fresh and active eruptive centers on top. Both shield volcanoes shown here were under the powerful destructive waves of Lake Bonneville, which rose about 30,000 years ago and evaporated into the Great Salt Lake about 13-15,000 years ago. 
Round craters and eruptive centers are so fresh that Post- or maybe syn-Bonneville eruptions explain the fresh and round craters and eruptive centers on top of these two shield volcanoes. That morphology makes future eruptions more likely.   This is an unpublished map by Dr. Susanne Janecke. Please cite this blog post and her name if you use it.

Data centers AND gas-powered power plants use a LOT of water.  Yet: 

Utah's water situation is in crisis.  We are in severe to extreme drought across the entire state.

Roughly 2000 Utahns came to have their voices heard in opposition to the Stratos Project.  their leaders disrespected them, threatened to have them arrested, and then fled their own public meeting.

Desiccated lakes look like this.  IT is grim.

NOTICE:  None of these MIDA people have technical or environmental or hazards training. Call them out.  They have been allowed to act without oversight.

MIDA built a luxury hotel using our tax moneys.  They pretended to be helping the military.  

FOLLOW THE MONEY:

Stuart Adams "just happened" to get his largest ever political donations 7 days after latest MIDA fraud plan was approved.

The bottom line.  Utah's GOP leadership hatched the project plan before they shopped it around and asked O'Leary to lead it.

Cox, Adams, Stevenson, and many others in the Utah legislature assumed that you and I would roll over to yet another scam that harms the state, steals our tax money for the SOLE benefit of insiders.
