Raise your hand if you think Wyoming’s AI data center should get two senate seats, a house seat, and three electoral college votes
🔌💡A new AI data center in Cheyenne could consume 5x more power than Wyoming’s residents combined. It could strain Wyoming’s grid indirectly, even if it has its own power supply. That means potential bill hikes, grid stress, and serious need for planning.
Power usage in Wyoming AI data center could eclipse consumption of the state's human residents by 5x — tenant of colossal investment remains a mystery
Wyoming is the least populous U.S. state, with around 590,000 people, and currently exports two-thirds of its generated energy.
