    This seems… idk, ideal? Lets use our cleanest & most energy dense means of power generation for our most frivolously expanding waste of energy. Unless we give microsoft authority over the DOE, which we aren’t (maybe IBM tho, they seem like they can be trusted…), I’m not really seeing a downside to this.

      Ideal would be them not reversing a decade of energy savings in the name of AI, but yeah, if they’re going to do that anyway then Nuclear is one of the better options.
