I just started having random shark tank clips appear on my YouTube and totally unsurprised this dude is pos, stank vibe since the very first episode.
Decades of protests and innovation to stop climate change

Poof! Progress gone, just like that
That shit is definitely not happening. Peaking bubble.
Kevin is a POS and I really doubt this DataCenter will ever be built. Having said that, this article is also full of fearmongering trash.
”Turn out, it could create a massive heat island capable of devastating the area’s ecology, said Robert Davies, a physics professor at Utah State University.”

I work in the O&G industry. “Heat islands” are a legitimate concern for both refineries and power plants. Failure to limit the heat emissions in a given area can require personal to wear more protective gear just to get inside the facilities. Alternatively, you have to shut parts of the plant down to get people safely into and out of it for maintenance.
It absolutely has an impact on the surrounding ecology. And you can see the brownfields that certain decommissioned sites create, stretching for miles in every direction.
For a state like Utah, with a relatively low per-capita population and some of the country’s last pristine wilderness, rolling out a bunch of industrial facilities to suck up the potable water and blast the area with vented coolant would have a very real and noticeable impact.
The problem is that we’ve done this cycle of development and decimation so many times in our industrial era that “doing what we’ve always done” gets written off as fear-mongering, because we no longer recognize the impact.
Well heat islands are a real thing. If you put 9GW of energy into a data center and dont want to fry the electronics you have to expel that heat somewhere.
Data centers often expel their heat into the surrounding ecology via air con and liquid cooling.
This is selling fear because this data center won’t obey the laws of thermodynamics?
That’s why it will be built. RIP Utah
What are the chances the people of Utah work together to stop it and reverse it from being built?
Dont know how it is overall in Utah currently.
Would have to be a big problem to focus on by Salt Lake City people and neighboring states assisting
0.1%
Can’t be that low
ok, 5%.
Come on skipper we need more power than that!!! /s haha
I was just joking earlier though for previous comment. Hopefully there is a good chance over there but only time will tell
I don’t know who Kevin is, so I looked at his Wikipedia page and I’m still none the wiser what he’s actually done to “earn” all that money. Looks like a serial grifter.
Wanker from Shark tank. Should have been named Wank Tank.
I’d hate to say it but that useless loser should stick to acting or boating.
Only if we can strap him to the heat sinks. 🍽️
This is never getting built
Look at what happened in Saudi’s Neom.
They kicked a bunch of locals off the property, diverted a bunch of local waterways, dropped millions of tons of concrete onto a foundation, and then ran out of money, gave up, and walked away.
You got all horror of industrial terraforming but none of the promised payout.
Strangely enough, I got kevin oleary confused with this guy. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UrgpZ0fUixs
Why does this guy have to be such a massive piece of shit.
Well he’s got nothing else to offer.
Because he floated to the top. Better question is why do we allow such massive pieces of shit to accumulate in the first place?
Kevin O’Leary is a parasite
All the shark tankers are.
He’s already on The List.
Also any time someone uses the word ‘hyperscale’, my spidey senses start tingling.
Didn’t he and his wife also killed someone while driving their boat drunk?
It was more some idiots decided to start gaze at night and illegally turned off their boat lights. Nothing sadder than douche on douche violence.

The funny thing is that Utah has some of the worst air pollution in the world. Yet they keep pushing to make it worse. I remember a couple of years ago in summer doctors in the state beg government to restrict private cars till the air problem clear up and the gov told them to fuck off.

https://www.kuer.org/health-science-environment/2024-01-23/reaching-for-air-there-are-solutions-to-pollution-but-will-utah-leaders-listenI can imagine why it’s like that, going to SLC as someone from the flat part of NJ was astounding. It didn’t matter which direction I looked, there was mountain encircling us.
I drove through SLC a few years back and it was like a giant brown cloud hanging over the city. I used to live in LA, I’m familiar with smog, this was actually worse.
