Kevin O'Leary will significantly reduce the size of his proposed Utah data center after local politicians and public outcry. Utah Senate President J.

The data center faced criticism over land and water use, with O'Leary denying claims it would deplete the Great Salt Lake. Public opposition to data centers is widespread.
