To be fair, only 6 people live in Wyoming
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.
From the article, it sounds like it will eventually use 20x the energy of all the households in Wyoming. That's pretty fucking nuts.
