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

> Because drawing this much power from the public grid is untenable, the project will rely on its own dedicated gas generation and renewable energy sources, according to Collins and company officials. However, this massive local demand for electricity—even if self-generated—represents a fundamental shift for a state that currently sends nearly 60 percent of its generated power to other states.

Looks like, in the future, these AI data centers will have to bring along or construct their own power and water sources. IMHO, they are going to have to find another way to cool the data center than water. They might begin using liquid sodium, like the nukes to do the main cooling. I just hope that there are a lot of houses nearby that need co-generated heat! Otherwise they will have to be able to offload that heat somewhere.
