Prometheus Hyperscale continues to claim this project “isn’t near anyone” and “won’t affect anyone.” The facts on the ground tell a very different story.
1. The Proposed Data Center Campus Is Surrounded by Rural Families
- Over 80 families live within the immediate impact zone shown on the map.
- Additional households on the east end of Casper Mountain and Central Meadow Acres fall within the tonal noise, air quality, visual blight, traffic exposure, and quality of life footprints.
- These are not vacant lands — they are active ranches, working properties, and long‑established rural homes.
2. The Proposed 150‑Unit Natural Gas Generator Farm Is Adjacent to Families, Livestock, & Wildlife
- The 150‑unit generator array would operate at industrial‑scale sound levels, producing continuous low‑frequency and tonal noise — the type of acoustic energy known to disrupt human sleep, elevate livestock stress hormones, and alter wildlife behavior across large distances.
- Ranches, family homes, and wildlife sit directly within the projected impact radius.
3. The 2,500‑Person Man Camp Is Proposed Near Existing Rural Homes
- A workforce man camp of this size is larger than many Wyoming towns.
- It would bring traffic, lighting, wastewater load, and 24‑hour noise and activity into an area historically defined by quiet agricultural use.
4. All Three Major Project Components Are Visible From Casper Mountain
- Every part of the Prometheus Hyperscale project will be visible from the northeast face of Casper Mountain — meaning families, recreation areas, and wildlife corridors on the mountain will see the data halls, the generator farm, and possibly the man camp in plain view.
- This contradicts claims that the project is “out of view” or “isolated.”
5. Prometheus Has Moved the Project Four Times
- The shifting locations of the data center, generator farm, and man camp demonstrate uncertainty, lack of planning, and lack of transparency – or is it a calculated strategy meant to keep residents and public officials from knowing the truth, with time to respond to known hazards?
- Each move has placed new families and ranches into the impact zone.
6. Prometheus Representatives Have Only Visited Affected Landowners Once – Where They Live
- Prometheus Chief Council Mary Throne, during a 10-minute visit, was unaware that residents lived this close — a sign of how poorly the project has been planned and designed.
- They have only agreed to speak with affected property owners by phone or meet off‑site in Casper or Glenrock since the visit.
- As of this posting, since Mary Thrones’ visit, not one Prometheus representative has visited the families living closest to the site at their homes, where they live.
7. If This Project Truly “Wasn’t Near Anyone,” They Wouldn’t Avoid Meeting the People Who Live There
- When a developer refuses to meet landowners on their own land, it raises a simple question: What are they trying to hide and avoid being accountable for?
