AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Data Center Fight in Utah: Utah Senate President J. Stuart Adams is pressing Kevin O’Leary’s Stratos Project to cut its footprint by 75% (from 40,000 acres to about 10,000), while demanding stronger water, conservation, environmental review, heat-reduction, and transparency commitments—O’Leary’s team says the letter “caught us off guard.” Energy & Air Quality: A new report warns AI and data centers could drive major electricity use and environmental harm, with electricity demand and water impacts rising alongside carbon and e-waste concerns. Wildfire Readiness: Experts say federal public-lands staffing cuts have slowed prescribed burning and thinning, raising alarms for the coming fire season. Conservation in Nine Mile Canyon: The USDA Forest Service is funding a $750,000 Nine Mile Canyon Conservation Project to secure a conservation easement protecting wildlife habitat, forest resources, and downstream water. Wildlife & Outdoor Access: Utah’s antlerless elk and deer hunt applications open June 9, with targeted hunts aimed at managing herds and reducing localized conflicts. Public Health & Chemicals: PFAS concerns persist in ski wax despite bans, and health risks haven’t disappeared.
