Last update: 7 hours agoPublic Lands: The Interior Department wants to sell federal land to state, tribal and local governments, but hasn’t identified parcels or the scale of sales. The proposal is drawing opposition, including from some Republicans.

The plan also includes a natural-gas plant, and residents are urging officials to examine its impacts and slow the process. Data Centers: Utah startup Torus raised $500 million for modular AI computing systems designed to use power already available at a site, rather than wait for grid upgrades. Their local resource demands remain an open question. Colorado River: Recent floods lifted Lake Powell more than 20 feet, offering welcome relief, though the reservoir remains below last year’s level.
