The Three Mile Island nuclear plant, home of the worst nuclear accident in U.S. history, would restart under a deal in which Microsoft purchases all its power.

👍👍👍

The tax breaks in the Inflation Recovery Act are crucial to making the deal economically feasible, according to Constellation. They provide a credit for every megawatt hour of nuclear energy produced.

lmao so instead of this funding the energy transition it’s just subsidizing the AI grift

    Oh sure NOW we want nuclear power. Not because of global warming or the immense pollution that burning fossil fuels produces, no no, those aren’t good reasons to move to nuclear. But powering AI servers? That’s what we need nuclear for! That’s more important than the health of a population or the entire biosphere!
