Episode Details

Utah lawmakers are moving fast to regulate data centers, unanimously filing a bill to define “large-scale” facilities after years of inconsistent rules. The debate is heating up—with some pro-data center lawmakers facing backlash, the governor issuing an executive order, and environmental groups demanding a pause until a solid framework is in place. Key concerns include water use in the Great Salt Lake and Colorado River basins. Committees will hold hearings, while lawmakers draft new bills requiring environmental reviews and strict water rules before incentives are granted. No votes until January, unless the governor calls a special session—so the groundwork is being laid, but the stakes are high.
