More nuclear power would be amazing, I would love to see us building more reactors.
People are going to have nuclear power plants in their area, in order to power the AI data centers in their area.
Arent nuclear reactors like, super non polluting?
It’s significantly safer for everyone’s health than coal fired power plants too.
The radioactive & heavy metal emissions are so bad; that, a nuclear reactor cannot be built to replace a decommissioned coal plant due to the area being so contaminated.
Current regulations don’t allow for it.
Ok, lets do that.
Hmmm people like clean energy and don’t care for document summarization who knew?
If this is what it takes to make nuclear power more palatable to the average American, then so be it.
These buildings are a blight, visually, audibly, and with the massive negative impact they have on our already perilously fragile environment and climate.
Looking at these things is like looking at an open, rotten wound in the earth and in our society.
hell Id rather have a nuclear silo near my home than a data center
You mean we want things that provide value, and don’t want things that don’t?
I’m as anti-fukushima as they come, and even I agree.
At least nuclear power would drive down power costs for people. AI data centers do the opposite and waste insane amounts of water. What exactly does AI do to benefit society?
One produced power the other eats it up like mini Reese’s cups
Cheap, safe, pollution free power that will create hundreds of jobs? Or expensive power hungry data centers whose sole purpose is to eliminate millions of jobs and make the rich richer.
Would you rather:
A) More reliable and cheaper electricity
B) Less reliable and more expensive
Hmm…
Well of course people would want the most sustainable source of green energy that brings loads of jobs to their local community?
Nuclear Power Plants aren’t going to save CEOs all the sweet RIF money though.
Well they’re about to get both
Humans run exclusively on resources (time, effort, and money). What value does an AI data center generate to the non-stakeholder public, whose physical resources are being consumed?
Wake up.
One is useful. The other is a waste.
Yes, clean energy providers vs. massive water and energy dependent resource consumers. Yes give me the nuclear power plant instead of O’Leary’s fucking data center in my backyard.
Nuclear power plants actually have a benefit to society whereas AI data centers are almost exclusively a negative thing. Is anyone surprised?
You mean people would prefer something that actually produced energy and needed to be staffed by more than the average clash match on order to be run, therefore also producing more jobs? Say it ain’t so!
At least the Nuclear Power Plants are actually useful.
Nuclear power plants have regulations that are generally followed.
Nuclear at 53% opposition is actually improving. 71% against data centers makes sense when NV Energy cuts off 50K Lake Tahoe residents to prioritize them. US needs both but permitting kills timelines.
Well yeah because nuclear power plants are super safe and make electricity cheaper-
the fact nuclear power plants are even close to scary or political is fucking insane
