Wyoming’s Power Bill: Now With 500% More Data Center Drain
Wyoming is about to star in 'How to Give Your Electric Grid a Heart Attack,' thanks to a proposed data center that 'would demand 5x Wyoming's current power use at full deployment.' Yeah, that’s not a typo—five times the entire state’s power, basically turning Big Sky Country into Big Steam Cloud Country. Because nothing screams 'progress' like making an entire state’s electrical system sweat buckets to keep TikTok videos and crypto mining running at max speed. Talk about late-stage capitalism flexing its giant, energy-hungry muscles while the rest of us just try to keep the lights on.

(1 of 3)Tell me you’re prioritizing profit over planet without telling me you’re prioritizing profit over planet. Wyoming’s new data center wants FIVE TIMES the state’s power, because climate-friendly is so 1990.
This is giving big 'Let’s see how fast we can fry an entire state’s electric grid' energy. Wyoming, sorry your power bill’s about to look like Elon Musk’s ego—EXPLODING.
If the patriarchy were a data center, this Wyoming project would be its power-hungry throne room. Five times the state’s power—because who cares about sustainability when there’s money to be mined?
