Dubbed the Stratos Project, the data center is the brainchild of Kevin O'Leary, a Canadian businessman and former "Shark Tank" star, who says the facility will rely on the "best technology."
When brought fully online, the data center is projected to generate and use nearly double the amount of power already consumed by the entire state of Utah.
It will also require enough water to support 20,000 local homes.
Salt Lake Tribune reporter Samantha Moilanen and Atlantic staff writer Matteo Wong will join us to talk about the controversy surrounding the data center and what it means for local communities when hyperscale data centers come to town.
