And suddenly these same assholes will tell you to turn your ac off because the power grid can't meet demand for some "mysterious" reason.

if governments won't protect us then the time for corporate sabotage is on us. make it incredibly expensive to keep businesses and data centers open.

do they really have nothing better to do?

“To the best of our knowledge, it is the largest data center — we think of it as a campus — in the world,” OpenAI’s chief global affairs officer Chris Lehane told The Associated Press last week. “It generates, roughly and depending how you count, about a gigawatt of energy.”
Why is this guy saying a datacenter generates energy? It does literally the exact opposite. I guess you don't need to actually know anything to get a leadership role at openai, as long as you can say lots of words.

Some of these facilities do generate a significant portion of their own electricity via various means. It's not like that amount of energy is just sitting out there on the grid waiting to be used. Somebody has to generate it and if you're already investing millions in rectifiers, batteries, and other data center power systems, why wouldn't you consider taking it a step further?

It's exactly what they want. He is avoiding use of clear, concise sentences to mislead the layman. The data center is generating a gigawatt of energy, for their use. The Wyoming power grid is their battery.

My data center has 35MW of generators onsite. No modern DC is designed nor built without backup generators to allow continuous operation during any utility power outages.

AI Data centers noticeably fuck with the grid. As a result they are facing internal and external pressure to generate more of their own power. Microsoft is opening a nuclear power plant. I would not be shocked to learn through solar, wind, and coal they provide the majority of their own power

Splurge for me, conserve for thee.
Same with water in CA. Industry uses >80% of water in the state and the focus is on 30 second showers and bullying citizens because their representatives have been captured along with their press in the profit machine.

Tell me it’s not gonna be generating power with “portable“ generators that narrowly avoid stricter regulation thanks to the guy who bought Twitter pushing them around the data center parking lot every few months.

I read something about natural gas powered power plants; not sure if it's this one specifically.
Because unfortunately this is not the only gigantic climate destroyer AI thingy planned/built.

You're absolutely correct - just taking the opportunity to add some hard facts:
587,618
That is very little considering it's about the size of any other mid-Western state.
So: "This AI data center will use the energy of half a million households" - doesn't sound much better.

the only thing that makes sense is heat

Lmao have fun with that power grid impact, Wyoming…

Yeah that language is pure corporate BS - data centers CONSUME energy at massive scales (up to 1 gigawatt in this case, which is insane), they're literally just giant heaters that occasionally produce AI outputs as a byproduct of all that wasted electricty.
