Facilities that power cloud computing and artificial intelligence consume vast amounts of electricity, posing challenges for companies' promises to reach net-zero emissions
Yeah… But why is this being pushed so hard? When the billionaire owned media pushes a message this hard, I can’t help but look for the terrible consequences I’m missing
I think in this case it’s not exceptionally nefarious, just greedy. They’ll save boatloads of money (and be able to centralize their facilities) if these reactors get approved, instead of being forced to pay to upgrade the municipal infrastructure because of the terrific strain they’re placing on it. A massive power source, all for them? Hot diggity.
Well, I think most of them are trying to get the government to split the bill, which I don’t love but I could live with. If they get small scale nuclear working, we might finally actually reduce fossil fuel usage for once
I just feel like the other shoe is about to drop. Are they going to push to run them themselves, with minimal oversight? Do billionaires want to buy privately owned nuclear reactors for their bunkers?
I don’t know how this is going to turn bad, I just have a bad feeling
