      Yup! Good article. I had posted something the other day before the forum reset about AWS investing in small nuclear power plants to help provide power for all the data processing.

      Update: Here's the article: https://www.cnbc.com/2024/10/16/amazon-goes-nuclear-investing-more-than-500-million-to-develop-small-module-reactors.html

        MIcrosoft îs doing it also.

        In addition, Google is doing the same thing.

        https://www.theverge.com/2024/10/15/24270645/google-nuclear-energy-deal-small-modular-reactor-kairos

        Google plans to buy electricity from next-generation nuclear reactors. It announced the deal yesterday, which it says is the world’s first corporate agreement to purchase electricity from advanced small modular reactors (SMRs) that are still under development.

        Google inked the deal with engineering company Kairos Power, which plans to get its first SMR up and running by 2030. Google agreed to purchase electricity from “multiple” reactors that would be built through 2035.

          Remember when nukular was evil?

          Now if you need to use ChatGPT, Siri, Grok, or whatever...then, never mind.

          "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
