Box Elder Data Center Backlash: A new wave of scientific warnings is hitting the Stratos Project in Hansel Valley, with Utah State and BYU researchers saying the facility’s waste heat and water demands could push local conditions toward a “Sahara-like” climate shift—while critics say it was approved without public comment or a full environmental review. Local Air Monitoring: Ogden is rolling out real-time air monitors to track Great Salt Lake dust and other pollutants, funded by a community race. Health + Air Quality: A Utah physician warns that multiple planned data centers could worsen smog and ozone along the Wasatch Front, adding to Great Salt Lake “toxic dust bowl” fears. Drought Pressure: Salt Lake County officials are urging residents to cut water use as mega-drought conditions persist. Federal Policy Shake-Up: Interior rescinded a rule that treated conservation as a “use” of public lands. Public Safety: A dog died after ingesting toxic algae in the Virgin River—first responders urge vigilance. Fuel Costs: Trump says he’ll move to suspend the federal gasoline tax, but Congress must approve.
