You could be forgiven for thinking this was a nuclear power PR initiative. bsky.app/profile/idio...

They’re going to need nuclear power plants to service those data centers

It's cheaper to just redirect existing infrastructure and cripple countless neighbourhoods so they can power their delusional hallucination machines.

It’s a bit of a paradox because you would probably need a nuclear power station to provide the power to run the data centre.

Nuclear plant would at least PROVIDE power instead of siphoning it and water from area residents.

At lease the plant generate power instead of sucking it up.

Forbes with that hard hitting journalism.

Well now they’ll get both

@forbes being the voice of the oligarchy are all for it. I’m sure

Come to Paducah, KY were we are about to get both!

They should be, it's literally leaving local residents with unreliable power and without water.

Why would the government give a flying fuck what their constituents think? They chose their voters.

We can be against 2 things at once. Not really an "either or" situation.

Americans have no say in the matter. It’s a business thing.

Tax the rich!

In a fucking heartbeat. BTW, nuclear power looks more attractive than it did back in the 1970s.

Interesting, I wonder how ‘The Machine: Yin/ Yang of Life’ would Respond to The ~Possibility-of-MUCH-More-Dramatic-Repercussions of ‘Nuclear’!!?

Makes sense. The energy and water usage is insane, and they usually don't bring many long-term jobs to the local area.

JFC! Have we all gone mad?

And because a majority doesn’t want it, that’s exactly what is forced upon them by neofascist technocrats and GOP tyrants. Hence the majority has no agency in its own future—if there is one.

Maybe also consider Solar and Wind Energy sources? It will do more for them a lot faster.

Let’s just focus on human intelligence first?

I am personally for "Real" intelligence.

Ah yes, deregulation. Back to 1929 USA with added benefits of dystopian Corporatocracy. In the future there will be no governments. Only corporations. The near future.

Later on they will build a nuclear power plant to power the data center and claim everyone was ok with it back in 2026.

People would rather have neither. Nuclear waste is forever and AI, a lifeless substitute for human creativity and intellect, drains water and energy sources, heats the surrounding air and creates endless noise pollution.

Don't fall in djt business nuclear . Scams like his phones...

I would rather be hit by a nuclear bomb than have a data center in my town

Noise: Data centers require massive, 24/7 cooling chillers and backup diesel generators. The constant industrial hum creates a buyer deterrent, historically discounting adjacent properties by up to 13%.

They can build all the data centers they want - just build their own power plants and and water systems to support them.

Makes sense.

Great! Nuclear power Data Centers! The "average American" does not think out the question well.

AI has taken over, AI is building these things for itself and there is nothing we can do now, it's too late

It's like handing your gun to a criminal and pleading, "Don't shoot!"
