'Next Silicon Valley' Careening Towards Ecological DISASTER

I'm calling some news I don't know if you guys have seen this but the Great Salt Lake is drying up. yeah yeah, and they're saying that it's like a nuclear bomb basically with the toxins from the Kenneth caught mine that's been out there. wow basically saying we got like 10 to 15 years to make changes and things like that. But the big dilemma that I was talking about is that Utah is trying to become like another Silicon Valley type. I call it silicon slopes. Facebook has its new data warehouse out here and all that. and you're seeing a lot of I can't remember his name running for a local senate seat but his big pitch is that he's a former CIA and that security is important in Utah because we're drawing all these big excuses. yeah, there's been a lot of tech companies opening data centers in Utah. because I guess a lot of undeveloped cheap lands that they could build these huge Warehouse size spaces. because they're only going to need to constantly expand these you know these data centers to hold ever-increasing data that we create. So yeah yes they like a lot of call centers in Utah too. They say that we have a perfect call center voice. here because I guess we got like you guys no accidents yeah I guess kind of like we sound like service bees that's kind of like what Mormons live for you know here in Utah.
