      my man… this is not being refurbished to replace fossil, this is being built to feed microshit’s datacenters and US taxpayer gonna pay for it.

      sure nuclear would be great… but this aint for us ;)

        My guy, they’re going to power it either way on our dime. His point is better it’s nuclear than fossil at least.

          i don’t want key facts why this is happening to be lost in the discourse.

          always follow the the money.

          also accepting these parasite corpo wins as some sort of win for the peasants is mehh

          but sure, cool!

            I think you’re still missing the point. It’s a loss, it’s criminal, our government sucks. There is no win here. But AT LEAST it’s not another coal mine reopening or a new pipeline. This comment has nothing to do with why this is happening or trying to convince anyone it’s a good thing. Slow your attack

              You are providing politcal cover for this extraction attempt… I am clarifying the record that giving mega corps money to so they can fund their datacenter infrastructure is not good. If they want to do this, let them pay for it.

              Y’all need to start thinking at system level instead of larping corpo propaganda to get you accept a hand out.

    Didn’t microshit ask feds to give them subsidized loan for this project?

    These parasites never want to play capitalism, they always need state to pay them lol

    But we can’t have maternity leave 🤡

    They couldn’t get it right before enshittification has gripped everything.

    The companies involved, the industry, and the regulators currently can’t be trusted; this project should be killed.

      You would rather power it with natural gas? Because that is what would largely power it otherwise. The datacenter does not turn off at night.

        Or … maybe the datacenter shouldn’t use so much power to produce something of extremely questionable worth to our species. 🤷‍♂️
