Member Of Legacy Ranch Family Plans Huge 1-Gigawatt AI Data Center Near Evanston
April 09, 2025
Trenton Thornock’s family has been ranching in southwest Wyoming for six generations. Now he plans another use for the land — a huge 1-gigawatt AI data center near Evanston.
…Thornock also signed a non-binding letter of intent with Sam Altman’s Oklo, a fast fission clean power technology and nuclear fuel recycling company, for 100 megawatts of power and is working with Morgan Stanley to find independent power sources to add to his development.
“These are the guys who build wind farms and solar arrays,” Thornock said. “They do combined cycle natural gas generation facilities, so we’re trying to modify our contract with Rocky Mountain Power so that we can actually have an interconnect with them to put some of our power on the grid.” (Cowboy State Daily, April 09, 2025)
