sure nuclear would be great… but this aint for us ;)
Yes it is. Every plant that’s live, means that things can be done more and more at scale, which drives down the price overall. In this narrow specific case, Microsoft will drive down the price which will make the already appealing nuclear (aside from NIMBY folk who will never give in because of their ignorance) even MORE appealing for baseload handling. Every plant, private or public will increase engineer knowledge and production of parts (increasing scale) which is better overall for nuclear.
And overall, these companies are going to increase their power load regardless. I’d rather new power production go to the better technology that won’t actively poison the environment. Driving down the % of power generated by coal/oil should be universally applauded. Even if it’s just new implementation of a large workload.
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.
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.

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!

You’re missing his point because you want t trumpet your own. Let me flip the question around a bit
If they were to build for, and pay for the electrical capacity on their own dime, would you prefer them doing it with nuclear or coal?
Lesser of two evils set up created by the owner class and y’all just larp it at every turn…
I guess we deserve the regime we got.
Until plebs start think on systemic level, nothing will change.
But sure cheer, for mega corp getting a hand out because you like the type of hand they got!
My guy, he’s making a pretty limited point and is agreeing with you. You’re strawmanning his comments to an absurd degree.
