Utah Data Center Backlash: A packed Salt Lake City Library forum pushed for more transparency and real public input on Box Elder County’s proposed Stratos hyperscale project, with speakers calling the process rushed and guardrails unclear. Local Governance: The fight is also playing out in how projects get approved and who gets to weigh in—county-level decisions are now colliding with state-backed authority. Public Safety Tech: Salt Lake City Police says it will expand its drone “first responder” program, adding docking stations citywide to speed up responses without using drones for patrol. Health Misinformation: A new report links Mel Gibson’s cancer drug claims to a surge in prescriptions for unproven antiparasitic treatments, raising fresh concerns about celebrity-driven medical risk. Energy & Industry: In Box Elder, a separate nuclear “ecosystem” plan is quietly moving forward while residents debate the bigger AI power-and-water footprint. Education & Screen Time: Across the country, parents are pressuring districts to roll back classroom tech after screen distractions and opt-out fights.
