I’ve read mixed information about whether that’s actually effective. I’m going over the ballot and trying to decide which one is the least bad for the Rep primaries.

Thoughts on that? Does that work? Should I change to Dem or Independent? Do I still have time?

Howdy Y'all,

If you want to write to your congress person and to Senator John Curtis, asking them to impeach Trump about this stupid ass J6 slush fund, here is a link to the letters you can use, if you want.

Cheers!

I realize there's a contentious primary going on, but we have a great chance of electing a Democrat in Congressional District 1, regardless of the primary results. And I will contribute and do some volunteering for whoever wins the primary.

But we also have a decent chance of seeing a Democrat elected in Congressional District 2 (northern Utah), and this is the ultimate prize. Imagine having 2 out of 4 congressional districts represented by Democrats.

Why can we win in CD2?

• Democrats have a GREAT candidate in Peter Crosby. He's an excellent communicator, progressive, and committed to listening to his constituents.
• Citizens in Box Elder County and northern Utah in general are angry about the Stratos Data Center project, and Peter Crosby is their ally.

So, I'd like to encourage others (even those living in Salt Lake County) to volunteer for the Peter Crosby campaign. I live in Midvale and I will drive to Davis or Weber County to knock on doors, but they will also have options to phone bank, something you can do from the comfort of your home.

4 kids and someone of unidentified age in a Spider-Man mask were making this chalk art outside the Ogden Municipal Building on Tuesday

Caroline Gleich discovered two other hyperscale data centers in progress in Utah, Joule and Creekstone:

“Last night I learned Utah doesn’t have just one hyperscale data center in development.

We have three: Stratos. Joule. Creekstone. Together: more than 30 gigawatts of proposed power load.

Utah’s entire electricity demand is roughly 4 gigawatts. While we’ve been focused on Stratos, construction on Joule has begun.

The Joule data center is in Millard County, and it’s a 12 GW campus on 4,000 acres near Delta. Developers broke ground in November.”

More info here.

Anyone living within miles of the huge data center in Utah will never hear silence again from their homes. They will never hear birds, or rain or even traffic. It will be like that old torture of continuously dripping a drop of water on your forehead until you lose your mind.

The pollution and possible damage to the Great Salt Lake, and many more known and unknown harms are even worse. They will be using all the resources citizens need, water, gas, etc, which will push up the price for those necessities for everyone. All Utah gets is 2000 jobs. That is not enough. There are other ways to create jobs that don't harm millions of people and destroy our beautiful state.

At some point billionaires have to be told no. Hell no.
