TL;DR
- Kevin O'Leary will reduce his planned 40,000-acre data center in Utah by 19,430 acres.
- The decision comes after pressure from residents, activists, and Utah Senate President J. Stuart Adams.
- Adams had previously asked O'Leary to reduce the project by 75% and implement water-saving technologies.
- O'Leary also committed to preserving a majority of the remaining acreage as open space.
- Even at around 20,000 acres, the project remains larger than Manhattan and raises environmental concerns.
