Forming a Group to Fight the Data Center!
Forming a Group to Fight the Data Center!
Hey guys! Fellow Utahn here! Like so many of you, I am deeply concerned about the Stratos Data Center development in Box Elder County and how it will impact Cache Valley. As I’ve spoken with family, friends, and co-workers about the issue, it seems we keep returning back to three primary concerns: (1) lack of information about the project (e.g. how much water will it actually use?) (2) lack of information about how to get involved/fight it, and (3) no unified place for us to mobilize/communicate. I’ve spent the last week researching the project and contacting local organizations/experts to get more information, both about the potential impacts of the development and our realistic avenues to stop it. So far, I have received some replies with very helpful information!
Throughout this process, I have been amazed by the collective action that has already begun to take place! However, I have searched for a unified place where I could find and share information, but haven’t been able to find one, so I decided to start one! As of today, I will be running the Stratos Watch newsletter and Instagram page! I will send out/post information that I gather, and you can also reply to the newsletter or DM me with any important info that you might have, so that we can keep spreading the news!
(I considered a discord server but I worry that would get too chaotic/confusing)
If you would like to receive information, updates, and action items in either of those formats, you can sign up/follow at these links:
