Constellation Energy plans to invest $1.6B to revive the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania and sell all the output to Microsoft for AI energy demands.

Seriously, we need the less carbon-emitting plants to replace the dirty coal ones, not come online just to power the AI hype :smh:

AI better cure cancer if we're using this much energy on it.

If you hate nuclear energy because you think it's dangerous or polluting, that is as dumb as choosing to drive instead of taking the train for the same reasons.

Nuclear energy is one of the methods of generating electricity with the smallest environmental impact and also much, much safer than the alternatives. The number of nuclear accidents can be counted on one hand, while the number of people who have died from cancer from coal power plants is conservatively estimated to be in the millions.

Wow Bethesda is really going all out to promote Fallout.

bro just one more lane power plant bro, bro I swear just one more and it'll fix the traffic energy demands bro

Let's save money and have AI control the Nuclear Power Plant, see what happens >:]

Ohh amazing what happen when corpos need something done lol

Fuck u peasants, sucks to suck

How dumb. Solar and Wind are SOO much cheaper per kWh than Nuclear and fossils. With them also comes the benefit of decentralisation. With 1.6B you could install so much more Watts of power with wind turbines and solar parks with the added benefit of less carbon and less nuclear waste and less chance of boom.

This plant, had it exploded in the 1970's, would have made New York and Washington DC uninhabitable.

I think it's fine if Microsoft has their own nuclear power plant as long as every Microsoft corporate officer is required to live downwind of it. ✌🏻
