In five short months, Kevin O’Leary’s Utah version of Wonder Valley has thrown the state into a massive conflict over water, air pollution, heat islands, and the community benefits of AI data centres.
Throw in questions about property rights, accusations of paid protesters, a mysterious Department of War connection, and a Chinese government interference conspiracy…well, you’ve got a story.
Here’s my update on how a Canadian celebrity investor has shaken a US state facing a drought and water crisis.
Opposition Mounts as O'Leary's Data Centre Approved in Drought-Stricken Utah

This is one Canadian us Canucks do not mind having America claim as it's own.

When you publish a news article and then someone reaches out to you with even more information:
Canada’s pension plan has invested $1.2 billion in the company that owns and operates the Ruby Pipeline that would supply gas to Kevin O’Leary’s Stratos AI data centre. This would give it an estimated 24.5% stake in the company, which operates 16,000 km of oil and gas pipelines and storage terminals across the United States. Alice Yang, managing director of the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board's "Sustainable Energies" group, also sits on the Tallgrass board. Patrick DeRochie, senior manager with Shift Action for Pension Wealth and Planet Health told The Energy Mix this is just one example he’s tracking that shows the fund is “making a big bet on gas to power data centres.”
