@thewokeginger: AI data centers need massive amounts of electricity, and the U.S. is moving to restart three shuttered nuclear plants. Two have deals tied to Microsoft and Google, while the Energy Department is offering up to $4.4 billion in loans. Who pays, who benefits, and what does this mean for everyone else on the grid? #AI #NuclearEnergy #DataCenters #EnergyPolicy #CorporateAccountability

All this so Trump can have his own bot farms…

Warren Hale :

Thought we didn’t have money for health care 😭

gidieknsbhals nyny :

Three mile island.

Nu clee errrrr

Samwise :

What could go wrong...

Trey :

Ok maybe this is a dumb question but why can’t we put the same nuclear power stations on these data centers that we put on our nuclear subs? I’m not a smart man but I’m at least slightly intelligent. Is there a reason that these mini nuclear reactors wouldn’t work for data centers?

They want to build them in Utah to support the data centers

ajisme :

My question is how much money will Trump (and/or family) get. He wouldn't do something like this unless he personally benefitted from it.

Ninky :

Thank you for keeping us informed.

petero57 :

We the people need to rise up to make it not worth the fight for them.

Slydog901 :

No.

Drake :

AI involved with nuclear anything is a disaster to start with, than you add the fact TAXPAYERS have to fund this for corporations gains💯💯💯

scarran08 :

These huge companies should be funding their own energy needs, not the actual taxpayers.

petero57 :

Put one next to MaraLago.

petero57 :

This is not capitalism they need to pay for their own needs. this is corporate welfare.

Nobody :

Dude they started working on this three years ago 🙄

ben :

Privatising power production worked well, let’s use that as an example for how this will go. soo let’s all buy some marshmallows cause we are all fucked but we can cook some shit on our way out
