Amazon, Google and Microsoft Are Investing in Nuclear Power
www.nytimes.com
Large technology companies are investing billions of dollars in nuclear energy as an emissions-free source of electricity for artificial intelligence and other businesses.

My impression is that this is a PR push, designed to avoid having to invest in renewables, and let them keep on burning gas and coal, rather than something likely to come to fruition.

    Is “AI” (ie, large language modeling, also known as enhanced word prediction; and with no logical reasoning ability) really so important that this infrastructure needs to be built?

    For the love of the gods, let this bubble burst already!

      Let them build green energy before it bursts… although, as another user pointed out, this may be the usual money grab and nothing gets built in the end.
