A Utah county greenlit a massive data center and nuclear energy project. Residents never got a chance to weigh in.

Price — Carbon County officials gave a massive proposed nuclear, natural gas and data center project the green light with a series of conditions on Thursday, Nov. 12. The county’s planning commission approved a conditional use permit for Valar Atomics’ proposed Raceway Energy Campus — a large industrial project on 640 acres of land owned by the Utah Trust Lands Administration — after nearly two hours of discussion between the company and planning commissioners.
