AI in Wyoming may soon use more electricity than state’s human residents

Wyoming faces a major data center expansion that could use more electricity than the state's population. Tallgrass and Crusoe Energy Systems plan a facility using up to 1 gigawatt of power. The project's user is unknown, but it's speculated to be linked to OpenAI's Stargate AI initiative. This highlights AI's growing energy demands and raises sustainability questions for large-scale computing projects in energy-rich states.
