内容总结：

据当地媒体ABC4早前报道，知名投资人、真人秀《创智赢家》明星凯文·奥利里在居民和环保人士的持续施压下，已同意将其原计划在犹他州建造的4万英亩数据中心规模减半。奥利里周四致信犹他州参议院议长斯图尔特·亚当斯，表示将剔除该项目位于“火车头泉野生动物保护区”内及周边的19430英亩土地。

这一调整恰逢亚当斯数日前要求奥利里将“斯特拉托斯计划”数据中心占地面积削减75%（即缩减至约1万英亩）之后。亚当斯还要求奥利里采用节水技术，并将多余水量引至持续萎缩的大盐湖。奥利里在信中同时承诺，将项目高速公路东北侧区域再缩减620英亩，并“保留剩余大部分土地作为开放空间”。即便缩减后面积约为2万英亩，该项目规模仍超过曼哈顿——而规模仅其数分之一的数据中心，在能源消耗、环境影响和污染问题上已引发严重担忧。

据当地 ABC4 电视台早些时候报道，在来自居民和活动人士的压力日益增加之际，凯文·奥利里同意将其计划在犹他州建设的 4 万英亩数据中心规模减半。这位《创智赢家》明星于周四致信犹他州参议院议长 J·斯图尔特·亚当斯，表示将从项目中移除 19430 英亩土地，该项目位于机车泉野禽管理区及其周边地区。

“Stratos 项目”的占地面积仍将大于曼哈顿。

这一变动发生在亚当斯呼吁奥利里将其“Stratos 项目”数据中心规模削减 75%（即缩减至约 1 万英亩）的几天后。亚当斯还要求奥利里采用能够最大限度减少用水的技术，并将多余的水引向仍在持续萎缩的大盐湖。

奥利里在信中还表示，他将再削减项目靠近高速公路的东北部分 620 英亩土地，并补充说，他将“保留剩余大部分土地作为开放空间”。即使占地面积缩小至约 2 万英亩，“Stratos 项目”的覆盖面积仍将大于曼哈顿——而规模仅为其零头的数据中心，在能源消耗、环境影响和污染等方面依然会引发重大担忧。

Kevin O’Leary agreed to halve the size of his planned 40,000-acre data center in Utah amid mounting pressure from residents and activists, as reported earlier by local affiliate ABC4. The Shark Tank star sent a letter to Utah Senate President J. Stuart Adams on Thursday, saying that he will remove 19,430 acres from the project, located in and around the Locomotive Springs Waterfowl Management Area.
Kevin O’Leary agrees to downsize massive Utah data center
Project Stratos will still have a footprint larger than Manhattan.
Project Stratos will still have a footprint larger than Manhattan.
The change comes just days after Adams called on O’Leary to slash the size of his Project Stratos data center by 75 percent, which would reduce it to about 10,000 acres. Adams also asked O’Leary to implement technology that minimizes water consumption, as well as to divert excess water to the Great Salt Lake, which continues to shrink.
O’Leary also said in the letter that he’ll cut another 620 acres in the northeast portion of the project near the highway, adding that he will “preserve a majority of the remaining acreage as open space.” Even with a smaller footprint of around 20,000 acres, Project Stratos will still cover an area larger than Manhattan — and data centers a fraction of this size still pose major concerns surrounding energy usage, impact on the environment, and pollution.
