KNOWLEDGE: Stratos SCAM PLAN: Updates

 Collection of insights

into how the corrupt leaders in Utah are forcing a destructive data center and power plant onto Utah Citizens.

  • Without oversight
  • Without environmental impact analysis
  • Without essential technical knowledge
  • In a mad and secret rush (does one 58 minute MIDA meeting protect the Utah citizens?)
  • Using legislative tricks-HB 60 is an example
  • Using pressure tactics in Box Elder County

This egregious bribery follows another event about 3 years ago:


Northern Utah News

Box Elder County data center’s projected daily heat equivalent to 23 atomic bombs

Water permit application has been withdrawn in order to avoid the 4000 protests by Utahns.  

What motivates the withdrawal? 

    Avoiding acociuntability
    Using a TERRIBLE new law put into place by UTah GOP lawmakers for precisely this situation.

HB 60 passed in 2026 legislature and it guts all protections from water right applications.

Deception and secrecy about Stratos Project is being exposed 

1) Secret meeting with Governor Cox and others set the Stratos project in motion.  THAT was long before the public became aware of anything.
2) Box Elder County first mentioned the project in a public commission meeting on April 22, 2026. At that meeting the agenda "camafoggedoughed" the extreme size, impact, scope of the project by allocating only 4 minutes of time.
3) No one understood the agenda-except for the 14 landowners who had been aproached inadanvce to sell their land to a misrepresented project by someone called Austin.

YOU can still stop the wildly expensive and destructive Logan River Watershed Project (LRWP).

Consider the extreme mega drought gripping utah and the current state of the Great Salt Lake.

Utah is classified as being in severe or extreme drought conditions.  Small parts of the state have somewhat less serious drought conditions at the moments.


The Great Salt Lake Basin around the Stratos Project area has a mere 2% of its usual snowpack.

RED IS SCARY BAD.  Go here and watch how this becomes even more dire as the summer proceeds.





Current condition of GSL is in the EXTREME ADVERSE STATE, which begins when water falls below 4192 ft in South arm.  The South arm is currently 1.1 ft below that level, and falling.

Grow the FLOW has an excellent tracker of data about the DIRE and unhealthy condition of the Great Salt Lake.

Utah’s Leadership Failures Drop Great Salt Lake
Water Level to 4,192 Feet

The Great Salt Lake’s South Arm dropped to 4,192 feet above sea level, triggering toothless conservation measures which are too little and far too late for this struggling ecosystem. The lake is now on track to hit a new historic low in 2026, jeopardizing the 12 million migratory birds it harbors annually, the $1.3 million lake-supported economy, and the health of all Wasatch Front residents.

Utah legislators are also preparing to meet in a special session and legislate to dry up the North Arm of the Great Salt Lake, which they have been preparing to do in legislation passed over the last few legislative sessions. Since the North Arm represents 40% of the surface area of the lake, this move formalizes Utah’s leadership failure in protecting the largest remaining wetland ecosystem in the American West.

This is a disaster we could have avoided had state leaders not squandered the precious time they had to raise water levels.
