    Their billions of dollars in profit could’ve started this process decades ago. They’re just doing it now because they need to keep pace with AI data processing demands. It’s a net-zero strategy.

    Incredible. How can companies have that much power? Buying a nuclear reactor as if it were a birthday gift.

    It’s good that they’re doing this even if it’s for their own gain

    When can I expect to get depleted uranium rods to be delivered to my home?

    Well when the LLM craze collapses in the nearish future we’ll have a bunch more nuclear power in the 2030’s. So that’s good I guess?

    I’m looking at black holes to power my energy needs!

    First things first…I will create a black hole here on Earth. This is very complicated and I will have to invent a ton of technology to get that done. That’s as far as I can think of right now. Whenever we have the black hole, we’ll have a meeting to figure out the rest of the plan.

      I thought it’s already figured out, recycle it like in France.

        There is no recycling of nuclear waste. Nowhere.

          Nuclear reprocessing then if you insist on right wording.

            Reprocessing reduces waste but it does not eliminate it. Its like saying that curb side plastics recycling has solved the microplastics issue

            No. I’m a huge fan of the nuclear fusion reactor in the sky.

        Not figured out here in the states. They just turn the site into a nuke waste dump.

      There are actually relatively easy (easy compared to building a nuclear reactor) ways to deal with the waste that involve mixing it with concrete and glass so it can be safely stored in a way that won’t impact the surrounding environment. Kyle Hill has a great video about this on YouTube: https://youtu.be/4aUODXeAM-k

      I thought that the solution there has always been to bury it in desert bunkers for 10,000 years.

      If we’re still around by the time that becomes too cumbersome we are hopefully space-faring and then yeeting it into Jupiter becomes an option.
